Puzzles are probably one of the best (and cheapest) toys for kids. As children, Mommy, Uncle Dedo and Aunt Ellie played with lots of puzzles and Legos in their time. Mommy strongly believes that this is the key to developing “spacial relations” which is something that cannot be taught in traditional academics.
Here I am playing with my first two puzzle sets. One is a Melissa & Doug pegged puzzled with different numbers and shapes. The other is a Melissa & Doug animal puzzle. I think Mommy introduced me to the sets pretty early, about 12 or so months.
