There is no left and right to confuse, no symmetry, and each piece belongs to one point along that sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChildren build it from the head down, which is the order the shape suggests, and rarely need to be told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe spiral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe curled tail is the one part that gives trouble. The pieces there are similar in size and each fits its neighbour at a slightly different angle, so it is the last thing to close on a board that otherwise goes together quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe stained-glass pair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same treatment – flat panels a child can place by colour – exists as our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/the-little-butterfly-wooden-puzzle\"\u003eLittle Butterfly\u003c\/a\u003e.
