Jigsaw Puzzles
I've written a lot about a variety of different kinds of jigsaw puzzles and how to teach kids to work them. At this point, I have decided to stop posting about them individually unless I find something very unique. I am going to list the links to the posts I have already published down below. If I add information about a new puzzle, I will add it to the top of this post and then re-publish this post.

Fruity Pool Party Puzzle - This is a 77 piece puzzle from Peaceable Kingdom. The pieces are nice and sturdy. I would say about half are standard shaped pieces, with typical tabs and blanks, and then about half are odd shaped. There are 7 larger pieces that are pictures of fruit with scratch-and-sniff scents - 3 strawberry, 2 banana, and 2 pineapple.
