Our sweet lady bug counting puzzle will be a hit with all little bug lovers! This is a great starter puzzle for kids as the dots on the lady beetles wings are the constant, which makes it easier for them to count and then match to the correct number. The revamped puzzle still features our brightly coloured lady beetle tiles which now pair beautifully with the laser engraved 1 to 12 number tiles, that add a great tactile sensory component.
