Explore sea creatures through the artwork of Rhea Blair-Kearins with this set of four handcrafted wooden puzzles. Each puzzle has 12 pieces, giving children opportunities to practise hand–eye coordination, spatial awareness and problem-solving as they piece together the illustrations.

Why Educators Love It

Four different illustrations encourage children to look closely and compare colours, shapes and patterns.
The 12-piece format suits independent puzzling, partner work and small-group activities.
Artwork by a named Aboriginal artist gives educators a starting point for introducing children to her work and the cultural influences she shares through it.
Handcrafted in Sydney from sustainably sourced timber.

Meet the Artist

Rhea Blair-Kearins is a proud Gumbaynggirr woman who grew up on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Her mother, also an artist, taught her painting techniques and shared stories with her from a young age. Rhea draws on her Aboriginal culture to share stories through her art. The set comes with a certificate of authenticity.

How to Use It

Set out one puzzle at a time and invite children to look for matching colours, lines and shapes as they work.
Once the puzzles are complete, compare the sea creatures and talk about what children notice in each illustration.
Introduce Rhea by name and share her artist story as part of a group discussion about how artists share stories through their work.
