Pieces Everywhere

Lauryn has received many puzzles over the last couple of years and right now, they are all in a mess, all over the dining room/play room.  For some reason, she has never really been interested in puzzles but she loves to pull the apart and use each piece for some other game she's made up.  Things like using pieces as money for her cash register or to trace when she's coloring but never to sit down and put together the way they're meant to.  I'm sure there must be missing pieces too.  I've tried to keep them all together but once she gets her hands on them, it's useless.  Part of me wants to check with educa to see about replacement pieces and part of me just wants to throw them all away and tell everyone to stop getting them for her!  Maybe someday she'll get into them but right now, she would just rather make a mess of them.
