Graceful ballerinas pose gracefully under the spotlight in this ballet recital jigsaw puzzle. A sturdy wooden puzzle board provides both the frame and the storage for the 48 wooden pieces. Kids age four and up will enjoy bringing the lovely artwork to life as a reward for piecing together the jigsaw. Puzzle play promotes hand-eye coordination, fine motor, problem-solving, and verbal skills, as well as creativity and imagination. And, what’s more, if an adult is participating as well, there is plenty of opportunity to delve into the mysteries of human thought and behavior. For example, why is the girl by the curtain giggling? From simple puzzle play, kids may take huge, unexpected leaps toward understanding the world around them!
