I have one child in my room who is a puzzle pro. He can complete puzzles in about half the time the other children can, and without any help or guidance. When we realised this, we pulled out our big floor puzzles for him to do. He now pulls them out whenever he feels like doing them, and all on his own too! He likes to help the other children do them too, and they come to him to ask for help when they get stuck on a piece.
This is his current favourite floor puzzle.
We have several others. They are all Australian animals. They are made of thick wood and are great quality. They withstand the wear and tear of 3-5 year olds on a daily basis.
Group puzzles like this are great for children who dont quite have the fine motor ability to do smaller fiddly puzzles, and it is also easy to do as a small group activity.
