While kids floor puzzles may sound like just another toy, they offer more than fun. These multi-purpose puzzles will educate and entertain your kids, and they'll also accentuate your decor.
What Are Kids Floor Puzzles
Just like their smaller counterparts, kids floor puzzles are interlocking pieces that form a big picture. Floor puzzles are much larger, though, and may even cover the entire floor. While regular puzzles are often entertaining in nature, floor puzzles are more often educational. You can find floor puzzles in a variety of themes, including:
- Alphabet
- Counting
- Space
- Geography
- Transportation
- Community helpers
- Shapes
- Colors
- Popular characters, such as Dora and Thomas
With their range of educational opportunities, floor puzzles are a wonderful decorating option for schools, day cares, homeschools, and playrooms. Since they are usually made of foam, floor puzzles are relatively inexpensive and easy to clean, too.
The larger pieces make these puzzles ideal for young children.
Where to Buy Floor Puzzles
Kids floor puzzles are available at most toy stores, book stores, and department stores. They're also sold at some children's furniture stores. If you can't find them locally or simply prefer to shop online, you can find floor puzzles for children at Amazon.com and many other websites. In addition, you'll find some of our favorites below.
