From happy to sad and from sleepy to scared, this Ernest Moody Bear Puzzle from Schylling helps tiny tots express both their emotions and their creativity by changing the Ernest's facial expressions and his clothing. Eighteen chunky pieces mean lots of 3-piece puzzle opportunities by mixing and matching his wardrobe and his moods. The colorful wooden pieces all store neatly in a 6-inch wooden box with a slide off lid. The Ernest Moody Bear Puzzle allows children to learn about facial expressions and feelings to help them navigate in the world with others as they develop hand-eye coordination, spatial relationships, fine motor skills, and imagination as they manipulate the pieces into place. Puzzles can be worked alone when children need a quiet, solo activity and working with a child or adult opens up opportunities for conversation and connection.
