Fox Puzzle

Fox Puzzle — six chunky pieces that build a friendly fox

A first wooden puzzle with six chunky pieces that fit together on a wooden board to make a fox: his ears and face at the top, and a body built from simple coloured shapes underneath. 18.9 x 23 x 1.2cm, from 12 months, designed in France by Speedy Monkey.

🦊 A puzzle that makes a picture

Each piece is a simple, bold shape in rust, pink, navy or blue, and together they make the fox. That gives a toddler two games in one: matching each shape to its space on the board, then seeing the whole animal appear once the last piece goes in. Six pieces is enough to be a challenge at one, and few enough to finish.

✋ Sized for small hands

The pieces are thick and chunky, so they are easy for a one-year-old to pick up, turn and drop into place. Lifting, rotating and lining up each shape builds fine motor control, hand-eye coordination and early shape recognition.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy

• The pieces have no knobs. They are chunky enough to lift without them, but a younger toddler may need a little help at first. For knobbed pieces from 12 months, see the Surprise Puzzles below.
• Wood is wipe-clean only. Use a damp cloth, never a soak.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is it too hard for a one-year-old?
Not with six chunky pieces. At first they will take the pieces out more than they put them back, and that is part of the fun. Fitting them in follows over the next few months.

What age is it for?
From 12 months. Speedy Monkey rate it up to 3 years, so it lasts well beyond a first birthday.

How big is it?
18.9 x 23 x 1.2cm, a lap or table-sized board.

How do I clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak the wood.

Is it a good gift?
Yes, especially for a first birthday.
