C received this puzzle as a gift from her Aunt C and Uncle J for Christmas and it has been a huge hit! Not only is it a lot of fun for C to play with, but it teaches her the muscular, digestive, and skeletal systems of the body at the same time. I love that it's wooden and seems to be very durable. There's also a boy and girl version of the puzzle for obvious reasons. After spending some time working with C and teaching her how to put it together, she can now put all five layers together on her own. She is fascinated with her own skin now and keeps asking me if she can take it off so she can see her muscles and her bones. And when she dances around, she'll say, "My bones are making me move!" What a great way to introduce the various aspects of the human body to an almost three year old!
There are five layers to the body puzzle which are pictured below:
Skin:
Muscle:
Digestive system:
And the skeletal system:
C uses the picture cues on the left hand side of the puzzle to help her know which layer comes next.
And here she is working her way through the puzzle. . .
We love this puzzle! Beleduc has a variety of layer puzzles and other fabulous, educational toys and games! Check them out if you have a chance.
