We
have created and added these free, interactive, on-line jigsaw puzzles
for
your
use. They are in a Download format using RealPlayer that you may need
to
install (Look for RealPlayer 8 Basic. It's free. Click
here.)
But the
best news...
You can't
lose the pieces!
Other
Notes That You Have Told Us About:
* Unfortunately,
these puzzles do not work on MAC computers. Sorry.
* With
the larger the puzzle pieces (for younger audiences), the more distinct
the lines are between each piece. This is even more noticeable on black
and white graphics but does not affect the pleasure of doing the puzzle.
* If you
are returning
to the same puzzle for a second, third or hundredth time, we have found
it quicker to select "Yes" to the prompt question "Replace this file?"
Computers are smart. When you do return to a page anywhere, the loading
speed is significantly reduced. Pathway memory is a good thing.
* Puzzle
pieces tend to
'hide' under the menu in the upper left corner. Place your cursor on
the
top of the menu box, just as you would any puzzle piece, and move it
somewhere
else.
