Educators have long known that building puzzles provide many developmental benefits for young children. Children usually start out with puzzles that are outlines of simple shapes that fit into corresponding board cutouts, and from there they go to more complex silhouettes of real world objects that take more consideration. 

These challenging Build & Paint 3D Puzzles are a great addition to children's puzzle building activities – but especially for younger children, adult supervision and help in is highly recommended.
