When can your child start doing puzzles?

Not early enough as far as we're concerned, your little one can learn to play puzzles when they can sit. The puzzling can begin with a sturdy chair at the table. For the little ones, choose a wooden puzzle with not too many puzzle pieces, 3 to 5 pieces is more than enough.
See if the illustrations and shapes are challenging because that determines the difficulty of the puzzle. Nothing is more frustrating for a child to know where to place the piece but the piece cannot be placed properly.
There are also puzzles where there is another image under the puzzle piece that helps your little one to puzzle, without a picture they will have more difficulty puzzling
Can your child hold the puzzle pieces properly? We have plenty of wooden puzzles with nice big buttons that are easy for your baby to grasp.
