Wood peg puzzles are a traditional toy for young children ages 12-24 months. They usually consist of a large board in which the puzzle pieces fit. Each puzzle piece is a picture
Wood peg puzzles encourage motor skills so that children develop dexterity, hand/eye coordination, and manipulation. They also introduce children to problem solving skills. They learn matching and logic, as well as spatial relationships, critical thinking, and an understanding of cause and effect.
Plus, they’re fun and have bright and beautiful pictures.

I love wood peg puzzles not only for the tradition but for the learning opportunities. Peg puzzles are a great toy for younger children, ages 12 months and up. They offer a child a simple way to start to learn shapes, sizes, colors, objects and things. The peg piece gives them the ability to start achieving things on their own, without continuous help from an adult or older child. When you choose wood puzzles you also choose durability. They can be chewed on, stepped on, left in the car, or thrown in a bag and still look great.
For me wood toys always represent something you can pass down to the next generation. My favorite thing, still to this day, about visiting my Grandmother's house is when she opens her toy closet and pulls out the toys her children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren have played with. It is never plastic, it is always well loved, and full of stories, history and connection. For her, it is full of memories. She pulls out old puzzles her children did as babies and she is full of memories and warmth.
The wood puzzles and wood peg puzzles we sell are great to travel with, play with and teach with!
