The Dow's Schoolroom

Peg puzzles by Melissa & Doug are a great choice for the younger child. They can easily pick a piece up by the peg revealing a picture underneath and place it back in its appropriate place.

As your child puts the puzzle together, be sure to discuss what the picture is about. This will turn his learning experience into a time of close interaction with mom/dad and encourage conversational skills.

These puzzles have a lifetime guarantee against chips, splits, peels, cracks, or breaks. If in the rare event this happens to you, send them back to Melissa & Doug for replacement.

There are so many puzzles available, that I have categorized them into the groups listed above. Click on a group you might be interested in to see pictures of the puzzles.
