What: Mudpuppy Geography Puzzles
Why: You’ve seen it on TV. Someone’s walking down the street, and a talk-show host stops him and asks where Amsterdam is. A simple answer enough (you’d think), but then the guy says “Russia,” and you’re torn between laughing and feeling really bad for the guy.
Don’t want your kid to be that guy? Start young and make it fun. Mudpuppy has geography puzzles that are as entertaining as they are educational. Start out small with the Map of the USA Cube Puzzle with colorful images unique to each state, and then go global with the giant Our World Floor Puzzle that measures 2×3 feet when assembled.
Great for gift-giving, these are toys that every parent will want their kids to play with over and over again.
Price: $10 and up
