🧩 Where This Fits in Puzzle Sequence
Two-piece puzzles bridge simple picture matching and complex jigsaw puzzles. Children ready for two-piece work can already match identical pictures and understand the concept of "putting together." These puzzles introduce the idea that pieces must fit together precisely, preparing for 4-piece, 6-piece, and eventually interlocking puzzles. The frog photography provides engaging, scientific content so children can focus on the puzzle-solving technique itself while building amphibian awareness.
