Turn the nine painted wooden blocks to form an image of the lion, monkey, zebra, elephant alligator or giraffe. These are painted with some overlapping colors, so it is less simple than many other block puzzles. The pieces are smooth and the graphics are more storybookish than realistic. It is marked for 24 months and up. We think young twos will have difficulty putting these parts into a whole. It is a better choice for 3 and 4 year olds who will need help for starters.
