Puzzles are a great way to create a fun learning opportunity for kids. It helps children develop finger strength, perseverance and problem-solving skills. Picking up, moving and twisting the pieces of a puzzle helps children to develop finger strength and hand-eye coordination.
As your child picks up and positions pieces, they also develop small-muscle control in their fingers. There are also lots of cognitive benefits that playing with puzzles can have for children too. One of those is that it allows children to develop their reasoning and decision-making skills, both of which are valuable throughout their lives.
The use of puzzles also helps children to become more confident and determined by seeing their persistence pay off, giving them a sense of achievement once the puzzle is complete. It can also be used to promote social interaction.
