A few months ago, I bought Julia a few 60-piece puzzles.  She’s gotten very good at doing the 24-piece puzzles by herself, so I thought she could try a puzzle with more, smaller pieces.  She needed help the first few times, but soon she got the hang of the smaller pieces.  During this particular puzzle episode, I helped her find the edge pieces, and then turned around to help Raven with her puzzle, and next thing I knew, Julia had most of the thing put together!
