Bring the charm of the farm into playtime with the Melissa & Doug Old MacDonald's Farm Sound Puzzle, a delightful 8-piece wooden peg puzzle that sings as children piece it together. Each time a peg piece is lifted, the puzzle activates light-sensitive sound and plays the corresponding verse of the classic song "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." This magical effect not only captivates young learners but reinforces cause-and-effect thinking and musical engagement.
Designed with gentle, smooth wood and comfortable pegs, each piece is sized just right for little hands. Kids will develop fine motor skills, dexterity, and grip strength as they grasp and place pieces on the board. The matching visuals-animal illustrations on the pieces and their spots on the board-encourage visual matching, memory, and problem solving.
Children can proudly complete the puzzle while singing along with the melodies they unlock. This sound puzzle is ideal for toddlers and pre-schoolers ages 2 and up, offering an immersive musical experience while building early cognitive skills. Because the sound is light-activated, it works best in bright, direct light.
More than just fun, this puzzle supports developmental growth by fostering listening skills, auditory processing, pattern recognition, sequencing, and memory. As children hear an animal's verse and then find the matching piece, they strengthen their comprehension and musical awareness. The tactile, screen-free nature of the toy ensures that play is interactive and hands-on.
Durably built for repeated use, this puzzle will provide long-lasting enjoyment. Packaged attractively, it makes a wonderful gift for birthdays, holidays, or simply as a surprise treat. Invite your child to step into Old MacDonald's farm, piece by piece, sound by sound, and let learning and music come alive.
Please note: This toy requires 2 AAA batteries (not included).
