Montessori Baby: Round Puppies
Auldon Toys
Product Overview
Round Puppies is an association game centered on the "Mother and Baby" theme. Following the Montessori method, it encourages visual recognition and categorization through tactile play. The game features large, sturdy pieces designed specifically for toddlers' manual capabilities.
Key Features
-
Circular Puzzle Design: Unlike standard rectangular puzzles, these "round puppies" consist of a central circular piece (the puppy) that fits into a larger surrounding ring (the mother).
-
Self-Correcting Joints: Each puzzle pair is designed with unique interlocking joints. This ensures that the "puppy" piece will only fit into its correct "mother" board, allowing children to learn through independent trial and error.
- 42 Progressive Pieces: The set includes a total of 21 mother-and-baby pairs (42 pieces total). This high piece count allows the game to be scaled in difficulty—start with 3 pairs and gradually add more as the child grows.
- High-Contrast Art: Features friendly, recognizable animal illustrations (puppies, kittens, calves, etc.) with bold colors to assist in visual discrimination.
