One, we have many of those wooden "Melissa and David" puzzles, which DD 25 mos. adores and totally nails without mistakes.

I got her a large scale, 25 piece dinosaur jigsaw puzzle for this year and the whole jigsaw thing does not appeal to her nearly as much as the fascinating creatures depicted on the puzzle. She can look at a solitary piece and find its image on the small picture of the puzzle, but she has no plans of assemling it herself.

I think she thinks it's a poorly constructed or otherwise broken rug: she cannot wait to stand on it when I'm putting it together on the floor.

My mother tells me I was a puzzle freak, but never jigsaw.
