Puzzle

My twins love to play puzzles recently. I've a few sets (given by blogger & friends), but this were all in bad shape - all torn & missing as I exposed them to twins too early & at that time they don't know how to play & all being tortured badly @_@

I introduce puzzles to twins when they were 1.5yrs old. Too early - I think yes at least for my twins as they were just used them to play "masak masak" instead of really solving the puzzles.

I began to do some survey & it seems that wooden puzzles & thicker material puzzles are better for younger age toddlers. This is because of their motor skill & the puzzles texture, where kids can hold them firmly & play with them.

So I bought my 1st set of puzzle from Popular bookshop during sales.
It's about "Vegetable" - twins were not good initially when they started to play, but the next day they can play all the 8pcs very good.

I bought the 2nd set - Giraffe set - a big puzzle which come with a story book as well, from Popular bookshop.(The whole set is only RM15.90, worth to buy as the board book & the puzzles quality is good!)
Observed that KH is very good in playing puzzles, but not for EQ. She losses her interest if she can't get the link between the puzzles. But KH will try to match the photos / color of the puzzles to get the linking. I'll need to train EQ to play more in this.

The 3rd set - Transportation, I bought from Tesco (The quality is not that good as the puzzles were not being cut properly & I need to trim it a few times to let twins play). Lets give a guess what's twins favorite in this series?
AEROPLANE!!
They'll fight with each other when they saw that puzzle @_@

The 4th set - a wooden puzzle which I ordered online. It's a wooden puzzle with a magnet on top of it, which we can used the wooden stick to snap it & play with it. Twins love to play it as it was like fishing for them.
However, based on my own experience, the wooden puzzle is not safe for BB JY. He loves to put in his mouth, and the wooden chips can easily chipped off & it stucked on his mouth! Luckily we noticed this & removed from his mouth, else I really don't know what will happened if the chips stuck at his throat!
(I banned this set & only allow twins to play under my supervision in the room only.)

The 5th & 6th set - I upgraded to a better one - Infatino's puzzle.
When I Grow Up Puzzle & A Day at the Fair Puzzle
A Day at the Fair Puzzle - it's a 3D puzzle & twins just can't stop playing it!
When I Grow Up Puzzle - it's alphabetical puzzle, but twins still don't know all the alphabets & they were only guessing while playing it.
Overall, this is a very good quality puzzle which is worth to buy, although it's a bit expensive!
(I myself can't stop playing the sets as it was just too fun to play with ^_^)
