A natural wooden puzzle that let kids play with fire...and water, earth and air.

This is the time of year that my kids become obsessed with games, puzzles and any activity that can keep their attention without them having to be outside in our freezing cold weather. Usually for Christmas I stock up on a little new inventory of things like natural wooden puzzles so that we're not running out of options. And now this set from long-time favorite toy shop, Natural Pod, is on my must-have list. This children's natural wooden puzzle introduces your children to the wonders of the four elements. Earth, fire, water and air are represented by a cave, flames, a wave and a rainbow.  The set comes as a puzzle that can be pieced together as one, or used individually like building blocks. Your kids can transform them into elements to create a fort and a series of caves--or whatever their imaginations see. The set is made from sustainable wood and non-toxic water-based dye, so it's safe for little hands. What a perfect toddler gift for the holidays. -Kirsten Shop the Four Elements Building Set and other natural toys and gifts more online at Natural Pod.
