There are two kinds of toys, those that are open-ended such as blocks, and those that have a specific goal, such as puzzles. It is important for the child to experience both as they serve different purposes and meet different needs. Some of the puzzles here are made in Europe for Infant Communities, to last a lifetime of constant, daily use. Most importantly, the wood finish and paint of these, and all of these puzzles on this site are safe for young children. Though too expensive for many homes they give an idea of what kinds of puzzles are appropriate for the child's development at this age.
