Puzzle Craze

You know.. when everyone around you is talking about puzzleSs and doing them…. My kids and I are bound to be affected!

I happened to pop by Kiddy Palace and something told me I had to buy puzzles! So I bought the 4 to 6 pieces puzzle for Russ and the 16 pieces puzzle for Kay.

It was Russ first go at puzzle and he told a while before he got familiar with puzzles.

“Cannot! Cannot!” He struggled with each piece.
“Mummy help”
“Mummy come down, help!” Russ pestered. He grabbed my fingers and started pulling me.

I was seated comfortably on the sofa. Trying to use my eye power and some simple instruction to guide him along but then I discovered that couldn’t work. So we sat together and did the puzzles together many many times cos he was so intrigued by them.

Today, when I got home from work. I discovered he has gotten so familiar with them. Kids learn so fast! Yeah!

Clifford Learning Activities

“Watch Clifford! Watch Clifford!” Russ tugged me.
“You dunno how to play. Go and ask Jie jie if she wants to play.” Russ runs into the room.

They have already played Clifford Learning Activities twice since I bought it yesterday.

“Jie jie, you want to watch Clifford?”
“YES!!!!!” Kay scream and both of them rushed towards me with their biggest grin of the day.
