This multi-layer wooden puzzle is ideal for learning facts about sealife, how skeletons differ between species, extending the discussion to human bodies and how they are similar or different to animals, for exploring language around size and comparison, and for developing an interest in and understanding of sealife and how their environment is different to others. The animal pieces are a chunky 15mm deep and double-sided so can be stood upright in imaginative play scenes or stacked vertically to use coordination and balancing skills. The base tray features lasered skeletons for matching with each animal and the removeable layer has the animal shapes cut out to create an additional puzzle match activity. The skeletons in the base tray and features on the animals are deeply lasered for a tactile experience and can be used for tracing over or crayon rubbing on paper. The animal pieces and shape tray can be used for drawing, colouring or filling with colourful rice or beads for an additional sensory exercise. The tray and insert are made from FSC-certified birch plywood. The animals are made from FSC-certified beechwood. The blue whale, green sea turtle, starfish, seahorse, dolphin, shark, blue tang fish, penguin, and manta ray are painted with laser details. The walrus has a natural wood finish with laser detail.
