Puzzles have always been popular with children, and there are plenty of Mr. Potato Head puzzles to chose from!
    The Milton Bradley division of Hasbro released a series of four boxed cardboard puzzles in 1998. These 24 piece puzzles are what I like to call the “love” puzzles. They show Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head interacting as a couple in various “date” situations. In late 1999, Milton Bradley added four more puzzles to the “love” line.

    There were also a few 25 piece cardboard tray puzzles that featured Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head. These puzzles were simple, but not very sturdy.

    For the younger puzzlers, Hasbro has a wide variety of simple woodboard puzzles under the Playskool name. These 9-11 piece puzzles were released in several stages. The first few were simple pictures of characters, like Sheriff Spud and Prima Spudarina. The next 8 to be released put Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head in much more active situations and had much more modern themes.
