I still remember the day my daughter graduated from wooden peg puzzles to real puzzles with interlocking pieces. It felt like a rite of passage, as she explored the spatial relationships and put images together. My daughter’s first puzzle was the Melissa and Doug Bugs Floor Puzzle. Three years later, this puzzle is still a favorite, and the large pieces are easy for little hands. When put together, the Melissa and Doug Bugs Floor Puzzlemeasures 46.5 inches wide! Made of 24 heavy grade cardboard pieces, this puzzle holds up well to repeated use. Melissa and Doug make many other wonderful large full puzzles, including wooden versions that are more expensive. The Melissa and Doug Bugs Floor Puzzle is affordable at about $10.
