Christmas Puzzles to Love - 2 to 5 Years

Here are a few of the most stunning and Montessori family friendly Christmas puzzles! It's all about stacking, sorting, sequencing, patterns, and discovering sequence!
All these puzzles would work beautifully in a tray or on a kid's work shelves. I actually adore the natural timber puzzles. The age ranges are a guide only.

For Children 3 to 4 Years

Magnetic Dress Up Santa.
Santa's Sleigh Wooden Chunky Puzzle (9 bits).

For Children 2 to 3 Years

Wooden Christmas Tree Puzzle. The attractiveness of the puzzle is in it's simplicity.
Chunky Wooden Christmas Puzzle.
Christmas Blocks. A puzzle that doubles as ornamentation!
Nativity Nesting Dolls. Perfect for the child's awareness of order. Once the child has mastered the nesting dolls, see if they are able to put them away with their eyes closed or blindfolded.
I adore these really simple two, three and four piece puzzles.

Labyrinth and Maze Toys for Kids!

I am sure these are ideal for building focus, developing hand-eye coordination, and visual perception. They would also be interesting to use with family or friends.
A number of these would be well satisfied to a Montessori environment, gross motor area or toddle region!
I love this quote from MontessoriReStore. "The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the vision of the circle as well as the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. It symbolizes a journey to our own center and back out again into the world . The simplicity engages the right side of the brain letting instinct, creativity and vision to form a meditative activity to reconnect you with your center. It is often found to improve wellness, express emotions and make a awareness of well-being for centuries. Use a private labyrinth to center a child between tasks or merely when the kid needs a moment of reflection."
