There are so many toys out there that sing, dance, blink, light up, spin, and fly. But sometimes you just want a simple puzzle to do with your child. Banana Panda hears you and Puzzle Space fits the bill to a T. The puzzle features pieces that are big and easy to pick up, place down and fit into each other. It’s also more than just a puzzle! Once your child puts all the pieces together, and you talk about planets, the moon, and space, the fun isn’t over. Banana Panda includes eight standing figures to continue the play experience. There are figures likes an astronaut mouse, a rocket ship, and a dog in a flying machine. This allows the puzzle to come to life as you tell stories, teach and learn more about the adventures of space. It’s great fun for all making up stories with these characters that, in turn, teaches children how to tell a story and also how to pretend play with the characters. The box it comes in drew praise because everything breaks down when you’re finished and fits neatly back inside. There’s even a small handle that is easy for your child to pick up and place back on the shelf. Parents appreciated this as one more opportunity to teach their little ones how to clean up. The cost of the puzzle is just right, and the possibilities of play are endless.
