Underwater World Jumbo Floor Puzzle

Assembled on the floor, because that is where the child already is.

A jumbo floor puzzle from BMS Brands, built around an underwater scene of the sort small children will happily narrate at you for twenty minutes without pausing. The pieces are oversized and thick — floor puzzles are made this way so that little hands can pick one up, turn it over and press it into place without bending it in half, which is precisely what happens to a normal jigsaw.

The floor is the point. There is no need for a table, no risk of the whole thing sliding off one, and enough room for two children to work on opposite corners without an incident. Designed for pre-schoolers from about three years old, where getting the fish next to the other fish is a genuine achievement worth announcing to the room.

Perfect for: The rainy afternoon that has already been through the craft box, the dress-ups and most of a colouring book.
