Dive into an underwater world full of ocean life with this 48-piece jumbo floor puzzle that forms a 3 x 2 ft scene when complete. The picture focuses on sea mammals and other marine animals, giving kids plenty to point out, name, and talk about as they assemble the pieces. An illustrated reference guide is included to help children match shapes, colors, and picture details as they build. Puzzle play strengthens fine motor skills, spatial thinking, and simple problem-solving while encouraging imaginative storytelling around the completed scene. The large cardboard pieces wipe clean and are sized for hands-on floor play for kids ages 3 and up. This detailed puzzle is a wonderful addition to any collection of toddler toys and is just right for birthday gifts, holiday gifts, or special occasions.
