What is a peg puzzle?
A peg puzzle is a wooden board with pieces that each have a knob on top for small fingers to grip.
The traffic peg puzzle has only four large pieces, which makes it a good first puzzle. Number and maths peg puzzles add counting once your child is ready.
What age are these baby toys for?
The age differs by product, so read the age guide in each listing.
Some toys in this section, such as the dressing bear puzzle, are listed for ages 3+. Larger jigsaws with 30 to 500 pieces and craft kits are aimed at older children, so check before you buy for a baby.
Do the wooden trucks make sounds?
Yes, the friction trucks and press-and-go racers in this range have sound and light features.
Styles include a fire engine, dump truck, concrete mixer, digger, bulldozer and recycling truck. Larger wooden ambulance, fire engine and recycle truck sets come with extra accessories.
How do I clean wooden baby toys?
Wipe wooden toys with a damp cloth and let them dry fully; do not soak them in water.
Soaking can make timber swell or crack. Silicone night lights in this section are listed as machine washable, so follow the care notes in each listing for other materials.
Can I pay it off?
Yes. Pay with Afterpay or Zip, or check out with PayPal. A $25.95 wooden alphabet flashcard puzzle is four fortnightly Afterpay payments of $6.49.
