Ditto Mia- My daughter has NEVER liked puzzles. I thought maybe getting her some American Girl puzzles for Christmas would "spark" some interest and nope, nothing!! Oh, well, I guess puzzles aren't for everyone!

oneisenough- When my dd was little I would try to get her to do puzzles the same way you are doing, to no avail! Sorry, I wish I could help more. I think Mia is right though, some people have their own method of putting them together.
