Product Overview
Once your child is ready to work, you can start introducing simple materials that encourage the development of grasping and the pincer grip, like these simple shape puzzles. We recommend introducing the puzzles gradually, one by one, after each puzzle is mastered. Start with the circle, as it is the easiest to fit in. Then the square and finally the triangle, which needs the most manipulation and effort to place in.
