My mom bought my daughter a 24 piece puzzle when she was 21 or 22 months old. At first I thought my mom was a bit out of touch with reality, as I had never heard of such a young kid doing jigsaw puzzles like that. 3 days later I found myself taking a video of my daughter putting it together by herself. We bought her 3 more puzzles in the next couple of months, but at some point her interest waned.
Having said that, I am a big proponent of adding the third dimension when applicable, as it is something I've always struggled with. I'm much better at problems that I can reduce to 2 dimensions.
For her 2nd birthday, my wife and I bought my daughter the Battat Take Apart Airplane, as sort of a 3-D puzzle.
