Puzzle me that

Lucy is on a puzzle-spree. She loves them. It all started when I got out the wooden puzzles for Harper. Lucy quickly realized that they weren't so fun for her anymore and remembered that Pops and Grandma had given her a 24 piece puzzle for her birthday. She got it out and labored over it for a little while, but she did it. Then she did it again and again. Then I reminded her of a 60 piece puzzle that she also got for her birthday. She got it out and had it figured out in no time. Since then she has done the puzzles a couple times a day, getting faster and faster at it.
All of this, and today was "puzzle day" at school. She was so excited about it. She was taking her fish puzzle to share and to "show all the kids how smart I am at doing it so fast." And she was going to get to work on other puzzles. So here I am asking anyone who might have an old puzzle out there that you think she might enjoy putting together. Don't buy them, just send us an old one, for if this little whiz kid has her way, she will have opened the package and put together the puzzle in no time, and off to the next one, and then the next.
