This 25-piece floor puzzle is designed to help teach children numbers, shapes, the alphabet, and animals, as well as basic recognition skills. The child sits in the middle and puts the puzzle together around him, eventually forming two rings. The inner ring features numbers, both numerically and in word form, while the outer ring moves in alphabetical order, showing a letter and an animal whose name begins with it. Easy storage in a sturdy carrying case allows for travel.
