Can anyone recommend a store in Manhattan or Brooklyn or a website that has great floor puzzles for a 3 or 4 year old, one that goes through the alphabet or numbers. TIA! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

from that alone? you dont sing the abc's? draw letters and numbers? read to him? i'm not saying they don't help, but i doubt its from that alone. fwiw, my dd knows all the letters and numbers before 3, and her puzzle collection consists of princesses, castles and fairies. and she's a whiz at them.

My fridge magnets are not small enough to choke on. They are by Leap Frog. You can check them out to make sure, and then shove them up your sancti ass. [ Reply | More
