How it actually goes

⏱ 30-second set-up β€”
Thirty seconds: put puzzle map on a tray or a clear bit of floor, and sit down next to it before you call them over.
πŸ§‘ What you do β€”
Show it once, slowly, without talking over yourself. Then hand it over and stop helping unless they ask.
πŸ‘Ά What they do β€”
Collect, look closely, and ask the questions.
βœ… What success looks like β€”
At 4–5 they'll invent a harder version within minutes. Say yes to it.
🧺 How to put it away β€”
Everything back into one basket or tray, carried back to its spot by them. Naming the spot out loud is what makes it stick.
πŸ“ˆ When they outgrow it β€”
Older? Look one of the finds up in a book together afterwards.
