Encourage your little one’s first learning moments with the Hape x The Met Animal Friends Wooden Peg Puzzle, designed for babies ages 12 months and up. This four-piece puzzle features friendly animals, including William ® the hippo from The Met’s Egyptian Art collection, along with an owl, bunny, and boar, each with simple shapes and gentle colors that are easy for small hands to grasp and place.

Large wooden pegs support fine motor development and encourage early hand-eye coordination, while the animals introduce babies to storytelling and recognition in a playful, age-appropriate way.

Crafted from safe, durable wood and developed in collaboration with early-childhood specialists and The Met, this puzzle helps bring art and nature into everyday learning.
