When it may not be suitable

This 48-piece jigsaw is designed for early learners; it may be too simple for older children or experienced puzzlers seeking a longer or more complex challenge. The medium-sized cardboard pieces are not intended for toddlers under age 3 due to small-part and choking risks, and the set does not include advanced features such as wooden pieces or a large-format poster.
