Stuka Puka Chicken or the Egg Puzzle

The set is built from 6 stacked layers that reveal how a chick forms inside the egg. As you lift each level you see how the embryo is built, what the shell is made of, and how the chicken develops from hatching through to an adult bird. It is anatomy you can hold in your hands.

These wooden jigsaw puzzles turn a big science question into something children can take apart with their hands. The layered build shows egg and embryo structure step by step, and the included book fills in the details. Curious kids get to answer, for themselves, whether the chicken or the egg came first.

Each puzzle ships with the educational book From Egg to Chicken. It is packed with curiosities and extra information that go beyond what the layers show, explaining shell structure, embryo development and how birds hatch. Parents can read along, making it a shared science session rather than a solo activity.

This is a 6 level puzzle with 7 elements plus a frame and a cover, and it measures about 28 by 30 cm. The puzzle layer is 5 mm thick, with a 3 mm base and a 3 mm cover, so the pieces feel solid and stack neatly into the frame as you build.

Yes, it is a wooden puzzle. The surfaces are painted with a clear, odourless varnish so the colours stay bright without a strong smell. The sturdy layers and frame are made to be handled repeatedly as children rebuild the egg and trace the chick's development again and again.

It suits preschoolers aged 3 to 6 as well as older children and adults from 6 up. Younger builders enjoy stacking the layers, while older ones follow the biology in the book. The nature theme makes it a good gift for a child who asks a lot of how and why questions.
