Puzzle-Mania


Catherine and Will's favorite too-hot-to-go-outside activity is puzzles. The last few weeks they've been completing 2 to 3 a day, usually 100 piece puzzles. At first I tried to help them, but they informed me that I was in their way and I am only helpful to turn the pieces over when they take them out of the box or pick them up off the floor so the dog doesn't eat them. This keeps them occupied for a few quiet, cool minutes and is great for fine motor skills, problem solving, and sharing. And they're so proud of themselves when they're finished!
