Forest Animals Peg Puzzle | Designed by Sarah Betz | Wooden Toddler Activity Toy

Looking for a first wooden peg puzzle that a toddler can actually manage (without the tears)? The Vilac Forest Animals Peg Puzzle is a lovely 12-piece wooden peg puzzle illustrated by Sarah Betz, with chunky pegs designed for small hands to grip easily. It’s the kind of calm, confidence-building play that fits beautifully into mornings at home, quiet time after crèche, or a few focused minutes while you’re making lunch.
Each animal has its own snug space in the wooden base, and the little coloured dots underneath give gentle hints by matching the dominant colour of the piece. That means children can start independently sooner, while still getting the satisfying “I did it!” moment when the fox, mouse, owl and friends find their places. As they lift, turn and place each piece, they’re building fine motor control and hand–eye coordination, plus the early problem-solving skills that come from spotting shapes, comparing details and trying again. It also opens up different kinds of interaction: some children will enjoy the quiet, repeatable routine of puzzling, while others will turn it into a chatty nature moment where you name the animals and build vocabulary together. At BeoVERDE, we love how this combines a gentle woodland theme with smart little prompts that help toddlers succeed at their own pace.
