The Happy Hens Push to Pop Puzzle includes a wooden puzzle board with 5 magnetic hen pieces and 5 numbered buttons. Kids ages 18 MOS+ press the numbered buttons on the board to pop the hens out of their roosts, revealing eggs that match the number. Little ones may also recognize other farm animals featured on the board’s colorful artwork, such as a fox, a mouse, and a bluebird. 

The Forest Friends Touch & Feel Puzzle is another 5-piece puzzle set showcasing charming forest animals: a brown hedgehog, a green turtle, an orange fish, a purple snail, and a blue owl, all gathered around a pond. Kids ages 2 and up match the puzzle pieces to the squishy silicone textures in the board wells, fostering problem-solving skills and providing a stimulating sensory experience.

These puzzles are available for little hands to play with now at melissaanddoug.com; they will be available at other retailers this spring.
