A few weeks ago we discovered that while we've been piddling around with the wooden toddler puzzles with the little peg, over at Cheryl & Jason's house, Juniper has learned how to do real puzzles. In fact, putting puzzles together is one of her very favorite activities.
It's amazing to watch her problem solve and figure out how the pieces go together. She'll look for like objects and try to fit them together. ("It's the beak. This one has some beak.") She'll try pieces from multiple sides, turning them around to see if she can make it fit. ("No, it doesn't go. [turn] I did it!") When a piece doesn't fit, she'll set it aside for later. ("We're not ready for this one yet.")
She needs a little encouragement and support to finish her advanced 24-piece duck puzzle, but she can do the 12-piece Juniper & Violet puzzle all by herself.
