Melissa & Doug Children’s Book - Soft Shapes: Ocean (Foam First Puzzle Book)

With foam pages and 4 removable foam ocean animal shapes, this is the perfect first puzzle book for bathtime, playtime, or anytime! Textures, shapes, colors, and friendly sea creatures keep kids engaged as they learn fun facts and say hello to a blue whale, a sea turtle, an octopus, and a seahorse! Pieces float or stick to the sides of the tub. Fit them back in the book, then read and play again! Pediatricians recommend toys and books that encourage rich interactions between caregiver and child. Use this Soft Shapes puzzle book to engage in conversations with your child as they play. Object play with manipulatives such as bath toys helps develop hand-eye coordination and adds a tangible, physical component to kids' learning. This bath toy set makes a great gift for babies and toddlers, ages 4 months to 2-years-old. Add Melissa & Doug Float-Alongs Bath Books and Toys to round out the pretend play experience and give kids another engaging option for screen-free fun.
