There are so many benefits of puzzles in early childhood, such as improving fine motor skills or strengthening attention span.

Make sure that you offer these printable puzzles in addition to regular, wooden puzzles as they should never replace learning to build real puzzles (these are the best puzzles for toddlers and puzzles for preschoolers).

Also note that a child who can build a regular 8-piece puzzle might find these much more challenging as they don’t come in a wooden tray and they don’t physically fit together.

Building these relies solely on visual perception and a child identifying pieces of a picture. The right number of pieces is a puzzle that is challenging but doable. Any more is just frustrating.

Here is a list of all the puzzles in the printable PDF.

Printable 2-Piece Puzzles

There are eight 2-piece puzzles – a set of ocean-themed puzzles and a set of toy-themed puzzles.

Printable 4-Piece Puzzles

These 4-piece puzzles are still large enough for toddlers to handle. There are 8 fun vehicle, wild animal and pet puzzles in the set.

Printable 8-Piece Puzzles

There are three large 8-piece puzzles – an airplane, a car and a pretty garden scene with a girl and a butterfly.

Printable 12-Piece Puzzles

These 12-piece puzzles are more suitable for children who can confidently build puzzles. Two of them are full-page puzzles – dinosaur and jungle scenes – and two of them are half-page puzzles with farm scenes.
