Questions and answers
Is there something for a girl who points at every animal in her picture books?
Yes. The Jungle Friends knob puzzle is for a girl who already spots the animals on every page: she lifts each animal out by its knob and drops it back into its spot.
What works for a girl who pushes anything that sways just to watch it rock back?
A girl who nudges whatever tips and sways is the right match for the Hape Penguin Wobbler: a roly-poly penguin she rocks on the floor and tips over to watch it wobble back up.
Is there a pick for a girl who tips out every basket and bag she can reach?
The Fill & Spill taco suits a girl who empties containers as fast as you refill them: she packs the taco, spills it out and starts over on the floor.
