Melissa and Doug Underwater Puzzle

Jigsaw puzzles have enormous educational benefits – most notably, they develop logical thought, problem solving skills, and spatial awareness in a fun environment. With a vibrant illustration of sea life, this cardboard jigsaw puzzle visually appeals to most kids. Children learn dexterity, problem solving, and matching skills as they put the 48-piece floor puzzle together. When the child places the final piece in the puzzle, they gain an amazing sense of accomplishment. And no batteries necessary!
