Wooden two-piece puzzle – Fruits

Fruit Puzzleis a set of 4 independent pictures (apple, pear, raspberry, grape) divided into 2 pieces. Thus developed puzzles are the first step to start the adventure with puzzles. Even a child as young as several months can discover the joy of playing with puzzles while exercising little hands, concentration or perceptiveness.

Fruits are not only elements of the nature around us, which we show and name already with the youngest children, but also the basis of a healthy diet for everyone. How to convince children to eat fruit and familiarize them with the abundance of flavors, smells, colors and shapes they offer? By playing together, which can be helped by our puzzles with original graphics.

The puzzles help to shape primarily: concentration, visual perception, spatial imagination, eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, and speech and communication. Did you know that:

1. Concentration is the ability to focus on something specific. It can be a task being performed, a particular object or instructions given by a teacher. Concentration ensures children’s proper development and is essential at each stage of their education.
2. Visual perception allows a child to know and understand the world around him, and is essential for further education when learning to read, write and count. At first, the child, playing with several pieces with different pictures, has to focus his eyes on them and make judgments about what he sees, such as colors, shapes, similarities and differences. This is an introduction to more advanced analysis, which, among other things, forms the basis for logical thinking.
3. Thanks to spatial imagination, children are able to predict what an arrangement of several pieces will look like, determine the relationship between objects or identify their own location in the field. Spatial imagination is extremely important for further learning, especially for the development of mathematical and technical skills.
4. Visuomotor coordination enables precision of movement. It is essential for everyday activities – from independent eating or dressing up, drawing or writing to physical activity. Eye-hand coordination additionally requires training of the child’s hands and fingers, i.e. fine motor skills.
5. Small motor skills are the precise movements of the hands and fingers, such as squeezing, stroking, kneading and grasping. It is essential in many areas of a child’s life and the achievement of independence (e.g. brushing teeth, buttoning up, eating, writing).
6. Speech and effective communication are the basis of everyday life in the family and are indispensable for the development of social skills. They allow children to express their thoughts and feelings and to understand what others want to communicate.
