If you are trying ot do organized play with her, just follow her cues.
She'll let you know when she is tired with an actifity.

>> Hi group. I hope you all had a good Christmas.
>> I had a question about toddler development. My 17 month old got some
>> puzzles for Christmas. They are for children who are a year and a half
>> old.
>> They are the ones with the big pieces so they're easy to handle for her.
>> So
>> far, Mackenzie has always been pretty advanced for her age, she learns
>> pretty quickly. However, I tried to interest her in putting together a
>> puzzle, and she didn't seem interested. I took one piece out, and asked
>> her
>> to put it back, and she either tried to make the piece fit and couldn't,
>> or
>> she just wasn't interested.
>> She isn't really interested in her shape sorter either. I think she has
>> mastered the circle, but she doesn't want to play with the other shapes.
>> Is
>> this developmentally appropriate for her age? How can I get her
>> interested
>> in these concepts and toys? Mackenzie likes to climb and run, and she
>> loves
>> her musical toys, but honestly, other than that, she isn't really
>> interested
>> in toys. She would rather play with a cell phone or my computer. Thanks
>> for any advice you have, and I hope all of you have a happy new year.
