Melissa & Doug Farm Friends Knob Puzzle

The Farm Friends puzzle is the right starter for a one-year-old. Seven chunky pieces with oversized wooden knobs (big enough for tiny pincer grips), each piece is a complete farm animal sized to fit perfectly. M&D’s knob puzzles are the gold standard at this age — the holes are forgiving, the wood is solid, and the artwork is clean enough to teach animal names. Survives daily use for years.
