It's great for sorting skills, but she also gets to learn the names of baby animals which is super cute. And Yumi loves a game where she can get physical, so she’s been going crazy with Peek-A-Boo Base, where you press down one animal puzzle and another piece pops up else-were.Now watch every child close to us be gifted the exact same thing! If you like the sound of this and want to build a foundation for early learning with Panda Crate from KiwiCo, head to kiwico.com and use the code BTB50 to get 50% off your first month of any crate lineThat's right BTB50 for 50% off at kiwico.com
