Jigsaw Puzzles develop
number of skills in your child.

Benefits of Puzzles:

1. Hand-Eye Co-ordination: your child will develop a keen relationship between
   what their eyes see, what their hands do and what their brain relates to
   this information.
2. Gross Motor Skills:
   Larger puzzle pieces and stacking puzzle games can enhance the large
   movements of your child to the point where they can then work on their
   fine motor skills.
3. Fine Motor Skills:
   small and precise movements, such as the movement of fingers to get a
   puzzle piece in exactly the right spot, are built and can lead to better
   handwriting and typing skills.
4. Shape Recognition: the first puzzles we use are simple shapes — triangle,
   squares and circles. From there more complex shapes are used until the
   abstract jigsaw puzzles are used.
5. Memory: Your
   child has to remember the shape of pieces that don’t fit fir when they
   will fit later on.
6. Problem Solving: Either the puzzle piece fits or it does not. Your child
   uses critical thinking skills to solve the puzzle and, best of all, you
   can’t cheat a puzzle!
7. Setting Goals: The
   first goal is to solve the puzzle, the next goal will be a series of
   strategies your child comes up with to solve the puzzle. Such as putting
   familiar shapes or colors in one pile for future reference.
8. Patience: Puzzles
   are not like sports, you can’t just step up to the plate and swing until you
   knock it out of the park. You must practice patience and slowly work
   through the puzzle before you reach the ending.
