Do young learners struggle to understand how animals grow and change? Many children find life cycles hard to visualise, especially when relying only on pictures in books. They need something tactile, simple, and engaging to help the concept “click”.

The Lifecycle Layer Puzzle – Butterfly offers a clear, hands-on way to explore every stage of a butterfly’s development. Children lift each chunky wooden layer to reveal the next stage, from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. The smooth pieces are easy to grasp, helping little hands stay focused while strengthening fine motor skills. Made from ethically sourced wood and finished with non‑toxic paints, it is safe, durable, and ideal for early years learning.

Perfect for home learning, nurseries, preschools, and SEN settings, this layered puzzle supports language development, sequencing skills, and early scientific understanding. It’s especially helpful for visual and kinaesthetic learners who benefit from concrete, step‑by‑step exploration.
