Product Overview

This tray puzzle features 16 easy-to-lift, crayon-shaped pieces, each one showing its own color and shape. Kids match and lift each piece into its slot in a wood grain-like tray, and the pieces reveal the shape's name and color underneath in a handwriting-style font for extra letter recognition practice. Everything fits back into the tray afterward, so cleanup stays simple between play sessions. Built for little hands and made for ages 3 and up.
