Rooted in the wide-open landscapes of the prairie, this wooden animal identification puzzle introduces children to the animals that call grasslands, rivers, and wood edges home.
Each engraved piece features a familiar prairie animal — creatures often spotted on nature walks, in local fields, or throughout the Wilder Seasons books themselves. From bison and white-tailed deer to owls, rabbits, and cranes, the puzzle helps children build meaningful connections between what they see in stories and what they may encounter in the real world.
The natural wood texture, visible grain, and softly burned engravings invite slow, tactile play — encouraging children to notice details, practice naming, and develop early environmental awareness. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, the puzzle supports:
early language development
animal recognition and memory
fine motor skills
place-based learning
independent and shared play
This puzzle pairs beautifully with the Wilder Seasons books, extending weekly themes beyond the page and into hands-on exploration. Use it alongside story time, seasonal lessons, or after a day spent outdoors — helping children connect stories, nature, and play in a way that feels natural and unhurried.
Made to feel timeless and lived-in, each puzzle set is intentionally imperfect, just like the prairie itself — warm, grounded, and full of quiet discovery.
