Summer Birthday Bash! Lafayette Puzzle Company Review & Giveaway



With summer in full swing, its great to find ways to keep the kids entertained. One thing I always enjoyed as a child were puzzles, and they are still popular with kids today. I love when my children take the time to work on puzzles because they are using their minds and their creativity. Its so much better than always playing video games. If your child enjoys puzzles as well, a great place to find a huge selection of fun and unique puzzles is the Lafayette Puzzle Factory.




For our review, we received the Crayola Chalkboard Floor Puzzle. This awesome puzzle has won the Creative Child Magazine Toy of the Year award two years in a row in the creative puzzle category and was also featured in parents magazine as one of the top gifts for children for under $20.  My children certainly thought it lived up to its reputation. They had a great time putting it together and were excited to see there were chalkboards they could write on when they were done. But one of the things I really love about the giant puzzle pieces is that I won't have to worry about the baby getting one of the pieces in her mouth and choking on it. And when she gets a little bigger, she will be able to join in with the fun.



In addition to the Crayola puzzle, Lafayette Puzzle Factory also has some really unique 3D puzzles, art puzzles, photography puzzles and a huge selection of juvenile puzzles. You will find puzzles for every member of your family and ones that will be fun for everyone to do together. A puzzle is a great way to switch up family game night.
