Safari Peek a Boo Peg Puzzle

Safari Peek a Boo Peg Puzzle — lift the peg, find the animal

A wooden peg puzzle where every chunky peg piece hides a safari animal underneath, so each lift is a little game of peek-a-boo. Smooth, child-safe edges, 29 x 21.5cm, UKCA and CE marked. Suitable from 1 year.

🙈 A puzzle with a surprise

Peek-a-boo is one of the first games babies understand: it was there, it went, it came back. This puzzle builds that into every piece. Lift a peg and an animal is waiting underneath; put it back and the animal hides again. That small surprise keeps a one-year-old lifting and replacing pieces far longer than a plain puzzle would.

It is also early object permanence — the idea that things still exist when you cannot see them — dressed up as a game.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy

• The surprise wears off, the puzzle does not. Once they know where every animal is, it becomes a straightforward peg puzzle — which is still well worth having.
• Wood is wipe-clean only. A damp cloth, never a soak.

Wipe with a damp cloth. Wood should not be soaked.
