Wooden Puzzles

At My Happy Helpers, we believe wholeheartedly in the Montessori learning philosophy, allowing children to guide their own learning and education independently. Wooden puzzles and toys are a big part of the Montessori learning experience, which is why we stock such an amazing range!

As per the Montessori philosophy, Montessori wooden jigsaw puzzles are designed with simple shapes and colours so your child can discover their meaning and purpose independently. Instead of toys that make lots of noise or move around, Montessori toys are passive learning toys so your child can play in a way that suits them and helps them to learn at a self-guided pace.

We want every child to grow and learn at their own pace with toys that are both fun and safe. We’re proud of the products we design for Australian families and have a variety of Montessori-inspired toys to help your little one learn.

The Montessori philosophy is based on supporting the complete development of a child from birth to adulthood, and offers the view that knowledge is not gained by listening to words but rather by experiences in the child’s environment.

Hands-on learning, collaboration and self-guided activity are three of the main pillars in the method of teaching and are all aimed at letting the child make creative choices in the pursuit of reaching their maximum potential. 

My Happy Helpers has a range of Montessori wooden puzzles for your little one to play with and enjoy benefiting from the Montessori way of teaching.

The puzzles are purposely made from natural materials so your child can connect with nature and understand different textures and weights. Doing so helps refine your child’s senses and gives them more to feel and learn about when holding the puzzles. Meeting the Australian safety standards, the Montessori wooden puzzles are non-toxic, so they are safe for your little one’s mouth.

Puzzles for 1-year-olds: At 12 months, your baby is starting to understand and recognise different shapes and colours, so it’s time to introduce them to the wonders of a wooden puzzle! We have simple two and three-piece puzzles to choose from including our adorable Mini Ship Puzzle and our Chunky Train Puzzle.

Puzzles for 2-year-olds: At two years, your adventurous toddler is ready to explore their surroundings and figure out how things work during playtime. Their fine motor skills are getting better every day, and a more challenging puzzle is just the ticket to get their mind moving! Our collection of puzzles for 2-year-olds includes multi-piece stacking puzzles like our Bear & Baby Puzzle or Elephant & Baby Puzzle.

Puzzles for 3-year-olds: At three years, your child’s attention span has grown and it’s time to take on a more complex puzzle with more pieces. You can tackle multiple learning touchpoints with an Alphabet Puzzle Set, encouraging your toddler to hone their fine motor skills and learn their ABCs. If they’re feeling confident, you might even challenge them with our 52 Piece “Let’s Learn” World ABCs Puzzle or the 36 Piece “Let’s Learn” Barnyard Animals & 123s.

Puzzles for 4-year-olds & 5-year-olds: At four or five years, your child is getting better at problem-solving and using their imagination to find a solution to appease everyone. Teamwork is becoming a big part of their day, and they’ve got a solid handle on reciting the alphabet. It’s time to move up to the more complex stuff like our 60 Piece Dinosaur Foil Puzzle or the 60 Piece Sparkling Unicorn Puzzle. Alternatively, get the whole family involved with our 500 Piece Family Puzzle featuring Birds of Paradise!
