The solid wood handmade shape puzzle offers a child a lot of joy in playing while simultaneously developing their fine motor skills and concentration.

This is a Montessori tool. The Montessori method is based on the natural development and curiosity of the child. All activities are child-centric, with the aim of supporting and developing independence. Child-centric activities do not mean that the child can do whatever they want, but rather that the environment meets their developmental needs and within this framework, they have the freedom to act independently.

The Estonian Montessori Association recommends: Triangle-square-circle puzzle: This tool consists of three differently colored buttoned shapes. Matching these shapes develops the child’s concentration, visual perception, and fine motor skills. Working with buttoned puzzle shapes supports the development of correct pencil grip and strengthens hand muscles. Since each shape fits only in its correct place, the tool enhances the child’s problem-solving skills.
