2-in-1 Zebra Puzzle and Blocks Set, Ages 3+

Two activities in one box: build the zebra as a jigsaw, or use the same pieces as blocks and stack them. The switch is what keeps the box in use, because a child who has finished with the puzzle will usually carry on with the building, and the whole thing lasts longer than either activity would alone. A zebra also gives a three-year-old something recognisable to aim at, which matters far more than an abstract pattern at this age. Cardboard keeps the pieces light for small hands and lets it store flat on a shelf.
