Introduce young learners to the richness of Indigenous storytelling, culture, and symbolism through hands-on, play-based learning. The Indigenous Midi Floor Puzzle Set – 3x15 Piece features three beautifully crafted wooden puzzles—Bison, Monarch Butterfly, and Wolf—each piece brought to life with vibrant artwork by Alexandra Couchie, a self-taught artist and proud member of the Nipissing First Nation.
Ideal for early years classrooms, childcare settings, or homes, this set invites children to explore themes of identity, nature, and belonging while developing fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and cultural understanding. Whether used during quiet play, small group activities, or cultural learning celebrations, these puzzles offer opportunities for storytelling, conversation, and connection to Indigenous knowledge.
Each puzzle is handmade in the UK by a family-run business using sustainably sourced wood and finished with care. With 15 pieces per puzzle, the set is perfect for preschoolers and early primary children ready to tackle more complex challenges while engaging in meaningful, inclusive play.
