You are right though it is a great way to spend time together and away from the tv. Growing up we would always sneak a piece into our pocket because we always wanted to put in the last piece.

We do smaller ones, big pieced floor puzzles. You actually get to relate to each other and relax and be silly!

Until Peanut gets a little older, it's not very easy to start something that has to sit around for a day or two. I'm looking forward to being able to do them again.

My daughter and my 3 year old REALLY enjoy it. My daughter is putting together 1,000 piece puzzles by herself. She has a corner of her room set up just for her puzzles. My 3 year old will take his 24-48 cound puzzles in her room and set on the floor create his puzzle. <BR/><BR/>Puzzles will keep my 9 and 3 year old quite for hours....Suprinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546876476752445817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663633665226912327.post-66069349691539215532008-03-20T01:15:00.000-04:002008-03-20T01:15:00.000-04:00sounds like fun times!sounds like fun times!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160551209809872319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663633665226912327.post-5439136921910479442008-03-19T23:30:00.000-04:002008-03-19T23:30:00.000-04:00I love to do puzzles.

My dad had a special piece of plywood just for the puzzle that we could put on top of the table. Then when we weren't busy with it, we could slide the whole thing under the couch! Although we're all out of the house now, my dad still usually has one going and the little kids are getting into it now too!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158790469825626439noreply@blogger.com
