Bring musical magic to puzzle time with the Melissa and Doug Ms. Rachel Sound Puzzle, a 6-piece wooden peg puzzle that sings. Designed for young learners ages 2 and up, the puzzle invites children to lift each piece, and when placed under bright light, they will hear a familiar song performed by educator Ms. Rachel. The selection includes beloved tracks like "The Wheels on the Bus," "Hop Little Bunnies," "Can You Say Mama," "Come Play Out in the Sun," "I Love a Rainbow," and "I'm So Happy."
Each puzzle piece features a sturdy peg for easy grasping, ideal for little hands building dexterity. Under each piece lies a full-color matching illustration that helps guide placement and reinforces visual matching skills. The puzzle also includes an on/off switch, giving caregivers the flexibility to mute sound in quieter settings. The light-activated sensor requires bright, direct light to trigger audio playback, so for best performance, use in well-lit environments.
This design encourages cause-and-effect learning as children discover how lifting pieces produces music, fostering curiosity and engagement. Beyond entertainment, the Ms. Rachel Sound Puzzle supports developmental growth. It encourages fine motor skill refinement, spatial reasoning, memory, sequencing, and early speech sound exploration. The tactile nature of peg puzzles helps build hand strength and coordination, while musical interaction fosters listening skills and language exposure.

Packaged attractively, it is a thoughtful and engaging gift for toddlers and preschoolers who love puzzles, music, and interactive learning.
