Why this is Roost approved

Puzzles based on everyday routines support early childhood intervention by linking play to real-life experiences. Repetition of familiar scenes helps children build understanding and vocabulary over time. The larger pegs reduce the need for precise grip, allowing children to focus on participation, problem-solving, and shared attention during play.
