Mudpuppy world map puzzleMy 4-year old son has always been a huge lover of puzzles. He likes the challenge of finding all the fitting pieces and accomplishing the task of seeing his puzzle complete.Some of his favorites are the oversized, 24-piece 2x3-foot floor puzzles, maybe because they are as big as him. "Santa" brought him a United States map floor puzzle for Christmas, which I wasn’t sure if he would like, but it really ended up sparking his interested in the map and asking questions about it.
