Walking Hippo 3D Puzzle

This hippo stands on all four feet, glancing sideways with a big shiny eye and a contented smile. The body is light grey, the snout is a warm peach shade, and the ears and toes are pink. It is divided into about five pieces – head, front of the body, back with tail, front legs and hind legs.

Because the figure is in profile, children line the parts up from left to right, which trains logic and spatial awareness. The big body is easy for small hands, and play can carry on with stories about rivers and Africa. A fitting gift for a name day, Christmas or any animal lover. See more animal puzzles.
