ODEAS – Wooden Puzzles and Montessori-Inspired Educational Toys

Which animal hatches from which egg? How does a caterpillar become a butterfly? And does the star really only fit into the star shape? The wooden puzzles and shape sorters from ODEAS package such discoveries into toys that children's hands will want to play with again and again – from the multi-layered mouse puzzle to the life cycle of insects.

The educational toys are handcrafted from birch plywood and painted with non-toxic water-based paints. The themes are inspired by nature, and the design is based on Montessori principles: children learn through their own experimentation – fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and understanding of shapes are practiced incidentally.

In the minilou Family Concept Store, you'll find ODEAS wooden puzzles with mouse, egg, and insect motifs, as well as the shape sorter with geometric shapes – educational toys for children aged approximately 3 years and up, and a nice gift idea for preschool age.
