lift-out puzzle - dragon

This friendly green dragon comes apart into five pieces - head, front leg, back leg, belly, and tail - each lifting free on its own oversized wooden knob, so the whole shape has to be rebuilt piece by piece rather than simply dropped into place. His cheerful, rounded features and spiky yellow crest give him a friendly, storybook look, more approachable than fearsome, even for the youngest puzzle fans. It's a gentler introduction to how a single picture can be taken apart and put back together, one step up from puzzles where every piece stands alone as its own animal. The big knobs are easy for small hands still working on their pincer grip. Crafted from sturdy wood and finished in bright, water-based colors, this cheerful dragon is built for plenty of taking apart and putting back together. For kids ages 1 and up.
