The Mommy - You could make a puzzle with matching shapes instead of numbers, and only make it 4-8 pieces. Or you could draw a different colored outline on each piece, and on the corresponding spot on the grid. Or, you could do numbers! My daughter was pretty good at recognizing a handful of letters and numbers by the time she was 2, you might be surprised what your 2-year-old can do. Good luck!

I love this craft and hope to do one myself.

This looks adorable! I wonder how early you could implement this for really young children. I'm starting to homeschool a 2 year old now...
