It's not just a puzzle; it's a mechanical discovery. As they slot the chunky wooden gears onto the pegs, they aren't just matching colours—they're engineering their first machine. The satisfaction of spinning the blue gear and watching the yellow bee rotate in response is pure magic for a toddler learning that their actions have results. Suitable from 12 months, it bridges the gap between basic shape sorting and complex problem-solving, strengthening the wrist rotation they'll eventually need for turning door handles and opening jars.

Designed for curious toddlers who love to tinker and figure out how things work.

The 12-18 month old who is fascinated by wheels, spinning objects, and movement.
Grandparents looking for a classic wooden toy that doesn't need batteries or make noise.
Busy parents needing a high-engagement, compact toy for the highchair or cafe table.

A Garden That Comes Alive

Imagine the look on their face when they realise their own hand can make the whole board dance. They might start by simply chewing on the smooth, rounded gears—that's okay, the water-based paint is safe. Soon, they'll discover that the blue gear fits on the blue flower. The real breakthrough happens when they connect two gears together. It strengthens the pincer grip and wrist rotation needed for drawing later on.

Built for Toddler Life

Unlike passive plastic toys that do the work for them, this wooden puzzle requires physical effort and coordination to get the "reward" of movement. It's built tough for toddler tantrums, too. The solid rubberwood board is heavy enough to stay put on the floor while they play, but light enough for them to carry to you to show off their hard work.

Measuring approximately 21cm x 21cm x 4cm, it fits comfortably on a highchair tray or in a nappy bag, making it a brilliant distraction for cafe trips or waiting rooms.
