Toddlers are smarter than we give them credit for. Like did you know that by the time your child enters toddlerhood, she will be able to put a puzzle together? Yes, that's right! Being able to put a picture together from its pieces marks a great milestone in cognitive development and also displays a fast-growing imagination.
If you want to boost your child's cognition – especially her imagination – even further, we have a unique DIY project for you called Ice-Cream Stick Puzzle. It is easy to make, fun to create, and can keep your child engaged for hours. You can scale-up the difficulty-level of this puzzle too, as your child grows older.

After the glue dries off, draw straight lines between the sticks. Using a scissor, cut along the lines. The 'pieces' of your puzzle are ready.
