[blparent] Jigsaw Puzzles

I help kids get this by showing them that pieces either have bites, hooks,
or a flat edge. We need the ones that at least one side is flat.

Thanks, Steph.  I'm still trying to teach my daughter to find the edges and
corners first, but she doesn't grasp the fact that the edges make the
outside square or rectangle.  Which baffles me because she can put all fifty
states in the U.S. map by herself, doing the edges and funny-shaped ones
first.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

What I do is start with one piece.  I look at the first hole, then keep
trying pieces until they fit, all the while making a game of it.  Asking if
it fits, etc.  After a few times of this, they got the hang of it.  The more
complex 100 piece ones i cant do at all.
