too difficult for easily frustrated kids

We bought this for our 5 year old with cerebral palsy - he has great use of one hand, but only limited use of the other, so he needs extra practice with all of these skills! It's cute and each piece is fine on its own, but the design of it being a puzzle where the pieces come out while you're trying to work on them is not good. It's an extra level of difficulty that a child who needs to work on these skills does not need. It's frustrating to him, as well as our 3 year old. I'm gonna have to figure out how to glue them down or something.

Our daughter loves this skills board. I like that it is also a puzzle. The only thing I would change is add a way to secure the pieces to the board. This would make it easier to zip the zipper, etc. Working with pieces that are movable adds a level of challenge, but it should be optional.

My toddlers are really brushing up on those fine motor skills with this product.

Fun puzzle for learning dressing skills!

When I saw this puzzle I knew my son would love it because he loves fastening the latches on his sister's swing and I was right! I love that each piece teaches a new basic dressing skill that they can practice with over and over and even though he may not be ready for every piece just yet he enjoys learning about it and comes to me to show him how. Plus, it's an adorable puzzle that is fun to put together. Only complaint is that the button and zipper are kind of tight so it's a bit difficult for little hands but they will definitely loosen over time. Overall, great teaching puzzle! Btw I never make reviews but we love this so much I had to because it's that great!
Pros: Durable, Entertaining, Fun, Realistic
I would recommend this to a friend!
