Wooden #Puzzles for Toddlers

Not too long ago, I was told I'm going to be an aunt again. My nieces and nephew's call me Aunt Lissy. I'm excited to have a niece after many years. I have only one other niece, and she's around the age of 26. I start to loose track, once a person goes past the age of 10. She was born when I was in college, so I think I have her age right. Margaret will be born late August. She'll have 4 brothers. Help her! Ha!

Along with the excitement of having a new girl in the family, I have new products to review. One, is a puzzle set for Miss Margaret. I hope she finds it to build her fine motor skills well.

Age Range:

It says for ages 3 and up. 

Mica got into puzzles well before age 3. It probably depends on the child. 

What the Set Comes With:

Four wooden puzzles + a storage bag

My favorite:

Olivia the Owl is my favorite. They aren't named, but I named them. 

Second Favorite:

I love bees because they are cute, and if you leave them alone they aren't a threat. I called his one Bella Bee. 

Third Favorite:

I like this one, although I think the fish could pop out more - contrast wise. A lot of yellow in the background, and a lot of yellow in the fish. I called his one Fishy Faith.

Fourth Favorite:

I like this one just about as much as the fish, but I have to be honest here - the background totally peeled up. It's like it wasn't even glued down. If a 3 year old kid got ahold of that, it would be a goner. It's cute, but give me a held up product! I will probably paint Elmer's glue on it, and place it myself. I called his one Lizzy Lady.

The Bag:

The bag isn't a quality bag, but it's handy. What little kid doesn't like to carry stuff around, and pretend to go on a nowhere trip? I can't think of one. Isaak always packed to go nowhere. All the puzzles fit inside. 

Which puzzle is your favorite?

Food For Thought

• The last few meals Isaak hasn't wanted to finish his last two bites of food on his plate.
• I have a secret trick that works with some toddlers. 
• To get them to finish their food just say, "Ok if you don't want your food Mommy will eat it."
• Twice Isaak replied, "No my food!" He ate his food up like it was going out of style.

Odd Habits

• Isaak's getting at the age where he has odd habits. I remember when Mica went through this stage.
• Mica tried to blow bubbles and drink bath water. Now Isaak's doing the same. I stop Isaak and say, "Isaak that's gross water. We clean ourselves in this water, if you want a drink from the kitchen I'll get you one."
• He puts his fingers and food in his drink. I weaned him from a sippy cup, now I'm thinking if he doesn't stop putting things in his drink we may have to go back to a sippy cup.
• He tried hitting start on the microwave twice when I was cooking dinner.
• If hats are laying around he wants them on his head. Sometimes more then one on his head.
• There was tissue paper on the floor, and Isaak was trying to wipe his behind with it like he was done with going potty.
• There was a gift bag laying around from Father's Day and Isaak has been walking around filling it with small toys, emptying it and filling it again.
