The first wooden layer introduces the animal; lift it out and the second layer shows its home in nature, so a puzzle becomes a small lesson in where animals live. The pieces are nearly two centimeters thick, with a smooth natural-wood feel that's easy for children to grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKentaro Eguchi trained as a fine artist at New York's School of Visual Arts, then spent decades in early-childhood classrooms: he is a qualified Montessori teacher and opened Ivy's House Montessori kindergarten in Taipei in 1997. In 2015 he started Eguchi Toys, where designers, carpenters and preschool educators work side by side, and the pieces have since travelled to Maison\u0026amp;Objet Paris and the Nuremberg International Toy Fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two layers give it real depth, so it reads like a relief carving when finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick pine and birch plywood pieces feel substantial and survive years of play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt challenges hand, eye and brain together, which is why Eguchi calls puzzles an intellectual activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's designed by a Montessori teacher and US CPSIA tested.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 10 by 8 inches it fits on a bookshelf, a desk or a nursery dresser.
