Africa's plains, in the palm of a small hand
The Little Belle African Wildlife Puzzle is a proudly South African wooden puzzle that takes toddlers beyond the usual big-name animals and into the wider cast of the bushveld.
Ten animals, including the ones usually left out
Alongside the lion, elephant, giraffe, rhino, zebra and buffalo, you'll also meet a leopard, hyena, warthog and impala, which, despite what everyone calls it, is not a deer. Each removable animal is made from beech wood, realistically coloured and kept reasonably in proportion to the others, so children build an honest picture of how these animals compare.
A puzzle that keeps going once it's finished
The pieces are thick and chunky, sit raised above the board for easy grasping, and stand upright on their own. That means the puzzle becomes a small herd for imaginative play the moment the last piece goes in, rather than heading straight back to the shelf.
Details worth hunting for
Look closely at the board and you'll spot a meerkat, a lilac-breasted roller, an African hoopoe, insects and, naturally, a dung beetle. It's the kind of quiet detail that keeps a child looking for something new each time.
Early literacy, gently done
The name of each animal is printed inside its matching space on the board, helping children link the animal in their hand to its written name. Alongside that come shape matching, problem solving, fine-motor control, vocabulary and screen-free concentration.
Made for little hands. Tested with care.
