What piece count is right for my child's age?

Across specialist puzzle subreddits and parenting forums, the rough consensus is 20-48 pieces for ages 3-5, 60-100 pieces for ages 5-7, and 100-150+ for ages 7 and up, though many parents on r/Jigsawpuzzles and r/Preschoolers report kids handling well above their age range once they catch the puzzle bug. Floor puzzles with jumbo pieces are a common entry point for toddlers.
