Small World Toys Puzzibilities Piece By Piece Learning L2 Transportation
Moving vehicles fascinate kids. This 12-inch-long wooden puzzle capitalizes on that interest and  poses just the right degree of challenge to toddlers. Each of its 10 pieces has its own fingertip-grasp knob,  and there's a picture of the airplane under the airplane piece, and likewise for the bike, bus, helicopter, taxi,  car, train, and boat. But this puzzle is just tricky enough for toddlers, because the train--surprise!--is made  up of two pieces. And for reading readiness, the taxi is labeled "Taxi" and the bus, "City Bus." Young kids  will get a feeling of satisfaction from finding the right places for the pieces.--Rebecca Hughes
