it’s a picture of a parlor scene and there are some people dancing. the whole picture is made of shapes cut out of fabric. i think it had between 500 and 1000 pieces, possibly 750. it was my mom’s favorite puzzle, and she threw it out because some pieces got lost. i want to give it to her for christmas but i can’t find it. any leads? or do you have it, so you can tell me the name?
thanks a lot.

what should my 2 year be doing (academically?)?

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:47:52 +0000

hes only just turned 2 and the main thing worrying me is hes seems unable to do jigsaws. when i say jigsaws i mean the baby ones where you match a picture to its shape and insert! he seems to be able to do shapesorters but could be a fluke and doesnt have a very good one!
his nephew was doing floor puzzles at this age but my son cant do baby ones?

he doesnt show that much interest which may be down to me not stting down and doing them but surely its a basic skill to match a picture to a shape even when theres a picture in the shape to match it??

he also knws no colours or numbers! he is starting to mimic me when counting though and many people ask him colours and numbers (i think they think he knows!) which im hoping will help!

Your son sounds very normal. He is still a baby and each month will bring wonderful changes.

I taught my son sign language at 8 months. He learned to speak with his hands by 10 months and was fully capable of communication through sign language between 12-14 months.

My son still has trouble with colors and numbers and only know a couple of letters. He is now 2.5yrs and has only been potty trained for 2 weeks.

Listen, don’t worry about it. At 24 months, this isn’t a basic skill. I have taught my son many things and he is very smart. He still hasn’t mastered the things you have listed, but he will.

Could you guys read my story and tell me if you like it!!?? (be honest)?

A bundle of noises, none of them pleasant except for the slow trickling noise of water running. A dark, daunting. Only one light source. Fire. Lots of paintings of people unknown or that were once alive. Blinds down, curtains closed. Various chairs scattered across the room. All broken, from different places. Some with legs missing , some with no cushions, one was rocking. How did they get there? The question wonders around the cracked, faded wall paper. The fire went out. The only smell in the room. Concrete floors freezing to death only one small rug in the center. Grey colored with dust and arab-looking. Once owned by a murderer. Still is filled with horrible memories. A lumpy mattress on the floor. No blankets. Cold. The night is slowly taking days place. The noise takes a rest. And silence creeps out into the haunted room. The only noise present is the scuffling of shoes. Depressing. Windows opened. Cold,chilling breeze. A drawer is opened. 2 knives. Both blunt but still stained with the colour of red earth. The colour of animal blood. A spider fingers out through his own trap. A gasp. A slam. The wind opens the door. More scuffling noises. A new room. More gloomy sounds. Glass shattering. Weeping, crying for help but no one’s there. Blood drops on the concrete floor. A cry.
The room is filled with discouriging thoughts. There are no lamps just a flashlight dying. It’s finally midnight, memories come out and are erased by anger and tears. Looking back at all those embarrassing childhood moments turned the room a darker shade of gloom. Slowly thinking caused a shooting pain up and down his right arm. Did anyone care? No. He had gotten used to the fact that having no family was the best thing that ever happened to him. No one ever paid any attention or shown any interest in him. Except for one girl. Amelia. She had brown, silky, fine hair and a broken heart. One day she had dissapeard. No one knew where she’d gone except him. Him, the anti-social, ignorant boy that everyone hates. Yet every time he thinks of her, his heart gets tron in a million little pieces and are unable to put back together. A jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. He slid across the creaking floors to reach the bathroom. It was full of pooled blood congealing and different shaped debris, too disgusting to describe. Like cactus’ spines slammed into his whole body was the feeling he went through everyday. Eating the equivelant of a pea caused him to be shriveled like a raisin. His skin brown and wrinkled and his limbs weak. The consequence of too many drugs hade made him barely able to walk upright dragging his filthy, muderer hands. Every day two tiny dangerous pills are swallowed into an empty desperate stomach causing more damage than any smoked cigarette. His mind had wandered somewhat over the years. This was able to explain his wrists criss-crossed with raised red wheals that itched as they stretched. No one knew he lived in the abandoned house that was known for Jennifer and David Granate’s mysterious murder. A pure marriage that was once emballent turned to be heavy-hearted.
Surrounded by a deserted forest with naked trees and a murky atmosphere was the state of his burrow. No neighbours surrounded him yet the loud, busy noise of New York City located a few miles away seemed to crowed the forest. He never came out during the day time. Always at night. He hated the noise and the commotion that a city makes but it was too late to move. Nobody knew he lived there and that he was living there against the law. Just him and his knife. Somehow he was able to get away with killing people to satisfy himself. It could be a matter of time before anyone found out about him but he wouldn’t care if they locked him up in jail. He would be miserable anyway. The few people that knew him faintly wondered why he doesn’t commit suicide. Its hard to say but in every dark corner there’s always a little spark of hope that if its lucky enough can overpower a great deal of evilness. Ocassionally he went out for walks where he looked back on his unsuccessful life while kicking stones until he hurt himself. Everyday was basically the same routine for him and became more boring as the time passed by. Except for tonight.
The door opened slowly and creaking like in a horror film. He walked out of his house and started walking through the forest to get to the quiet peaceful yet dangerous setting of New York city. Passing various neighbour hoods full of people that were up to no good , he starts to think of all the things he’s done wrong. The countless things he regrets doing but is imposible to change. Walks a little more and finds himself standing in front of a school. Starts to have flashback of all the happy childhood moments and comparing his life now. What went wrong? Starts to scuffle and feels stalked. Hears footsteps behind him and a hard breathing noise.

Need great puzzle ideas!!Best idea = Best answer?

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:16:51 +0000

I need good ideas for the puzzle peices shape(instead of the boring old jigsaw thing….) AND for what the puzzle can be.

Maybe the puzzle could have an animal theme (like farm animals, rainforest animals, the animals of the African savannah, or the animals on Noah’s ark). And you could shape the puzzle pieces to look like the animals.

Interactive stamps?

admin — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:19:10 +0000

I have to design a set of 6 stamps for the UK ( so needs some sort of British theme really ). The brief is to try and make them interactive and make teenagers and young adults want to start collecting them. I have many ideas but am still not fullt happy with any of them. I want something really unique.
Here are a few of my ideas
-Stamps that can have a section for the viewer to draw on them to make each one that little bit individual in some way, eg like a face shape and you have to draw in the eyes mouth and nose etc, or something on those lines.
-One that is like a fortune cookie and you can peel a section of the stamp off to reveal your future.
-One that shows and image and then if you use a magnify glass and you’ll be able to see a puzzle or maze or something for you to solve.
-Ones that are in the shapes of jigsaw pieces and when you collect the 6 and put them together it creates an image.
Some of these are ok but if you have any crazy random ideas please let me know

The idea of making them interactive and also desirable for stamp collectors is, to some extent, conflicting. Perhaps the best of your suggested designs would be the jigsaw pieces.

Another idea might be to have them overprinted (in a panel incorporated in the design) with different dates, so that they could be used for sending birthday cards. This would create a good market for stamp collectors, as there would have to be 366 in a complete set. It might also boost the Post Office’s flagging sales of postage stamps. If the idea took off it would mean terrific sales for Royal Mail.

how’s my poem analysis?

admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:18:27 +0000

the poem:
life is a jigsaw puzzle
and ppl are the little pieces
all different colors
and all diff. shapes and sizes
sometimes you pick up a piece
and match it w/ another
and the colors blend perfectly
and they fit into each other
but in our case
the colors clashed
and the jagged little edges
just wont fit together
no matter how hard we push them
i guess we could have changed
but isnt it against the rules
to cut up the pieces
so that they fit together

my analysis:
To the Friend I Broke Up With (Pg. 92 Metaphor)
In the poem “To the Friend I Broke Up With” written by Lynne Ferguson, the speaker presents the relation and bond between people by providing examples with metaphors throughout the entire poem. Also, the speaker suggests that friendship and love between people cannot be forced. The poem comes to a close with the speaker’s personal experience of breaking up with a friend who he or she found incompatible to associate with due to external and internal differences.
The speaker utilizes a metaphor to ignite the poem with a mysterious tone with “Life is a jigsaw puzzle” (line 1). This metaphor not only serves as the central idea of the poem, it also aids the reader’s understanding of the poem and captures the audience’s attention. Reader’s will most likely question how life is a jigsaw puzzle and continue reading the poem. The speaker suggests that one is surrounded with many people of different qualities with metaphor “And people are the little pieces …And all different shapes and sizes” (lines 2-4). Further into the poem, the speaker paints an image into the reader’s minds with lines “Sometimes you pick up a piece…And they fit into each other” (lines 5-8), also to aid the readers to better understand the speaker’ personal experience and the main idea of the poem. In the second half of the poem, the speaker presents to the audience the story, “But in our case…so that they fit together” (lines 9-17). By solely telling the story, the speaker’s story is too weak to prove that one cannot be everybody’s friend. Giving life the quality of a jigsaw puzzle, however, solidifies the concept.
Clearly, the central message of the poem “To the Friend I broke Up With” is that one cannot befriend everyone because of the varying cultural and personal characteristics each individual possess. The speaker also implies that people are not willing to change so that they can overcome and tolerate the differences through lines “But isn’t it against the rules…so that they fit together” (lines 15-17). With a deeper look into the poem, one can infer that the speaker is also referring to social issues such as racism and the people’s intolerance towards those who are different. In conclusion, people should not break up with friends because of differences, but instead befriend others because of similarities.

wonderful. i completely agree.
nothing else to say… you sound reeeaaally smart too, which is always a plus! lol

have a good night!
