3D Figure Ground Puzzle: Farm
Description
Understanding position in space is crucial for a child's development as it enhances spatial awareness, problem-solving, and cognitive skills. Our 3D figure ground puzzle, with varying pieces helps children grasp concepts of size, distance, and relative positioning.
Features:
- Base piece measuring 11cm x 17.5cm
- Cards measuring 10cm x 7cm
- Wooden tiles range from small, medium and large.
What our OT says:
I have used this game a lot and it has been a favourite for our 5-6 year olds. Here is why:
- Consistent Use of Positional Terms: Utilize terms such as "front", "middle", "back", "in front of", "behind", and "next to" consistently throughout the activity to reinforce spatial understanding and language comprehension.
- Modeling and Imitation: Begin by creating a scene on the base and encourage the child to replicate it if building from a 2D model is challenging. This helps develop visual-spatial skills and fosters imitation abilities.
- Encouraging Creativity: Allow the child to create their own picture and describe it using positional terms. This promotes imagination, language development, and reinforces spatial relations.
- Questioning and Engagement: Create scenes and ask questions such as "What is behind the bushes?", "Where is the cat?", and "What is next to the house?" This encourages observational skills, critical thinking, and spatial awareness.
- Adaptive Positioning: If the child struggles to build from a flat card on the table, prop the card upright. This alternative setup can facilitate easier visual reference and manipulation.
- Shape Identification: Turn pieces over so the child can identify them by shape only. This activity enhances visual discrimination and shape recognition skills.
- Verification and Correction: Ask the child to assess if their finished scene matches the pattern card. Guide them through checking each piece location against the card, encouraging them to identify and correct any discrepancies independently.
- Sequential Instructions: Start with placing one piece on the board and provide verbal directions for subsequent pieces (e.g., "Put the house in the middle" and "Place the car next to the house"). This supports sequencing skills and spatial reasoning.

Beautifully made. Our learners are going to have so much fun playing with these
My son loves these, we put them in all his textures to have hum pick it out.
Very interesting for toddler to put together and to learn the different characters
Both my granddaughters aged 1 and 3 love this!
Excellent service, thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged my 1year old son was with this toy. He spent so much time taking the veggies out and trying to fit them back into the holes, even testing out different ones. It kept him busy as he packed the veggies in and out repeatedly. It's a simple yet clever toy that holds his attention for longer than I expected. Highly recommend it!
The variety of activities keeps my 1 year old son entertained and engaged. I love that it's not just fun but also educational, helping him with fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. The quality is fantastic, and it's sturdy enough to handle the rough play of a curious toddler. It’s definitely a toy I’d recommend to any parent looking for something that can grow with their child!
We absolutely love this swing! so great for tummy swinging.
My child (14 months) absolutely loves this game!
I'm very happy with the quality and I'm sure the gifts will be enjoyed.
Beautifully made and great service, this special gift tor our third grand daughter from her Nana and Nani will bring her years of playful pleasure.
Super cute tea set. Pretend play only, would not want to add water to the wood. Not sure who likes it more, my almost two year old or mommy ? Quality is good.
