Cool Puzzle




After we watched an episode of the Blue Planet, an underwater documentary narrated by David Attenborough, last night we started on the new puzzle we got from the science museum.

It is only 600 pieces so it is hard for Pere and I not to just put it together really quickly. But the point is for us to do together as a family with Z.

She had a bad experience with her first 500+ piece puzzle, the last one we did, because she got frustrated early on. The jump from 100+ to 500+ is pretty big. But this one she is having fun with and since it is a world map (with tons of information on it) it doubles as a geography supplement as well as visual spatial development. She likes it enough that she got up early, while I was still asleep, and went into the dining room to start working on it.

This company puts out a bunch of these illustrated maps. I want to get the solar system one next.

That looks like so much fun. I can't wait for HS to be big enough!

Ya!

Did you go to the link and see the other ones? I think they are really fun. And pretty easy too since they have all these specific pictures.
