Wooden Educational Jig-Saw Puzzle – Liberty Bell
Develop dexterity, problem-solving and reasoning skills, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification, and more with these big, bright, multicolored WOODEN JIG-SAW PUZZLES. The pieces are light in weight, large in size (about 3/4″ thick for easy handling), and interlock loosely so even pre-schoolers can assemble them easily. All are precut, safe, sturdy, and water-resistant. The colors are non-toxic stain-like impregnated finishes. The Liberty Bell is approximately 11-3/4″ high, 9-1/4″ wide, and is Brown in color.

I love it when a perceived child’s toy concept can appeal to the kid in us adults. It’s very gratifying to know as adults we have not lost touch with our youth. It is nice to reminisce about those “good ole days”.

All of our Jig-Saw Puzzles are created without a frame to insert the pieces into, as most others are. We want the child to match and compare body parts that go tog
