We were given a most excellent gift for Christmas this year - a picture puzzle of our horseback riding adventure in Colorado.
The other day the kids decided it was time to give it a try.
It's really interesting to see the different strategies people employ when working on a visual problem. Cole just picked up every piece that looked similar to the part he was working on and tried to fit it in every space. Isabel was a bit more refined, gathering only the pieces she knew belonged together before trying to fit them together. Needless to say she didn't last long on the parts that were more complicated, but Cole continued to chip away at it until the very end. It was quite impressive.
We had such a great time doing this as a family. The kids really enjoyed piecing themselves together and it was fun to watch them work at it. Our trip to Colorado holds many great memory for us and this is such a fun way to relive them. Thanks so much to Doug and Karen for giving us such an awesome gift. We love it!
