The Viga wooden puzzle lets toddlers build a sweet teddy bear girl in different outfits and moods – happy, sad or surprised.

This wooden puzzle for toddlers has 18 pieces that make 6 different pictures of the teddy bear girl. Each picture has three parts – head, body and legs – so they can also be mixed for funny combinations. The puzzle is fun and also helps children learn about emotions: they see what happy, sad or angry looks like and learn the words for it. After play, all the pieces go back in the box. Size about 13 × 14 × 4 cm.

What your child develops

• Recognising emotions. Your child learns to name feelings from faces.
• Logical thinking. They find which parts go together.
• Manual skills. Pieces have to be placed precisely.
• Language. Talking about outfits and feelings builds vocabulary.

How to play

Put one bear together and ask, “How does she feel?”. Then mix the parts and look for the matching ones.

Let your child make funny combinations, like a happy head with a raincoat, and invent a story.

The teddy bear puzzle is a lovely gift for toddlers from 18 months.
