Wooden 9 Pole Puzzle - QToys | Wooden Toy NZ

Invite curious tamariki to explore size, order and fine-motor mastery with this beautifully simple wooden pole puzzle.

Nine removable dowels graduate in height and tone, encouraging little hands to problem-solve, strengthen their grasp, and refine hand-eye coordination as each piece finds its perfect fit.

Montessori-inspired and open-ended, the puzzle grows with your pēpi: begin with just a few poles, then progress to full sequencing challenges that nurture concentration, independence, and early maths language such as tall, taller, tallest. 

Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood and left untreated to celebrate the calming grain, it is free from harmful chemicals and looks timeless on any shelf.
