Nora got an educational "laptop" for Christmas from her grandmother. One of the games it has on it is a maze game. The child has to use a "mouse" (aka joystick with a cover on it that looks like a mouse) to move a dot through a maze to a block of cheese. Nora thinks the cheese looks like a Castle so she calls it her Castle game.
Anyway at first she needed me to help her get into the game (You have to push a button then move the mouse over to select the game then click) then she needed help completeing the first level which was pretty easy.
Now, not even a month after she recieved the laptop, she can get into the game herself and complete all levels! Some of the levels (I think there are either 6 or 10 levels) get pretty intricate. So I hope puzzle solving is something that helps brain developement! LOL

What a smart girl, if I remember right, those types of puzzle solving games are good for math skills. Go Nora!!

So cute! You must be very proud of Nora! Poor Violet--she got all these adorable toys from Grams/Gramps at Christmas, and she still would rather play with a roll of papertowels, or bang two balls together :)

Jonni, that's the way mine were. Give them a box and they could play for hours. We would get big appliance boxes from stores and they would make forts or cars or rockets. They had a ball with them. Til they fell apart. Then we's get another one. Such fun. And the wrapping paper was the best part of the present.

Kris, I sure miss those days! My son spent a whole summer with a frig box and duct tape, made the neatest fort!

Alee, that's great! Kids are so smart and adaptable to all the new technology. She'll be programming the vcr/dvd player soon.
