Puzzles from Eguchi Toys are fun to solve and beautiful to display. Merging aesthetics and education, these two-layer puzzles, developed by Montessori teacher Kentaro Eguchi, encourage creativity and aid in the development of fine motor skills. The first layer shows just the shape of the animal, while the second layer lets you place the animal in its habitat. Made of pine and birch plywood, the pieces are easy to handle for even small hands.

• Suitable for age 3+
