Floor Puzzles for Kids

When it comes to kids and floor puzzles, bigger is always better for a number of reasons. Larger pieces are easier for little hands to manipulate, standing back and up gives the child a broader perspective of the problem before him and, finally, once his work is done, the child is rewarded with a giant piece of art that can stay together as long as he wants it to.

Goodnight Moon Floor Puzzle
- This jumbo floor puzzle fully captures the magic and wonder of this classic kids bedtime story. It's a great first puzzle. Made up of 35 large pieces that fit together to form a board that is 18 inches by 35 inches, this toy is appropriate for kids aged 3 to 6. An added bonus---it glows in the dark and will softly light up a child's room with the comforting and familiar objects from the story.
Skeleton Floor Puzzle
- Made of 15 pieces of high-quality soft foam, kids will have a blast putting together this educational floor puzzle, which is four feet long and as big as an average child once completed. Children will learn major bones of the body (their correct names are listed on the box) as they put the skeleton together and they can even lie down on it when it is finished. It's also a fun prop to use for archeological dig parties, science projects and Halloween haunted houses.
Alphabet Train Floor Puzzle
- The Melissa and Doug children's toy line has a number of interesting floor puzzles and the Alphabet Train Set is one of the best for younger kids who are just starting to learn their letters. Crafted with sturdy, laminated cardboard and high quality graphics, this 28-piece puzzle is for children 3 and older. The final puzzle measures 24 inches by 36 inches and features whimsical details for letter and train-lovers alike.
Crocodile Creek Dinosaur Floor Puzzle
- Preschool kids love this versatile floor puzzle. Its pieces can be used to form individual dinosaurs as well as one extra large puzzle featuring all the big lizards. The 36 pieces are made of durable, slick cardboard and fashioned to withstand rough play. Everything fits easily into a lunchbox-style carrying case, so pick up and travel is never a problem. Crocodile Creek also offers a similar floor puzzle featuring vehicles.
Giant Around the Farm Floor Puzzle
- The Around the Farm floor puzzle is a great first puzzle for kids because the 36-inch round, foam toy also serves as a soft, sturdy play mat. Featuring large animal-shaped pieces that pop in and out, this circular puzzle helps kids learn about spatial relationships with pieces that are simple to snap together and safe for children. The bright colors are irresistible to toddlers, and a customized carrying case makes clean up and storage a breeze.
