Puzzle
Great game idea with many benefits for child development.
Jigsaw puzzles are a wonderful employment opportunity for toddlers. Toddlers love to put the colorful shapes together to form a whole and create a beautiful picture. It's almost like magic. Child-friendly motifs and lots of bright colors are, of course, indispensable for puzzles. Sometimes it can get quite tricky, but puzzles are definitely incredibly fun. Apart from being a fun pastime, puzzles also offer an incredible number of benefits for children's development. Children need to concentrate and show a lot of patience. They also need to have stamina, because sometimes it takes a little longer to finally finish the puzzle. The puzzle trains the fine motor skills and promotes both the memory and the concentration of children. In the creation phase, the imagination of the little ones is also challenged.
Pay attention to the level of difficulty
With puzzles it is very important to pay attention to the degree of difficulty. For the very youngest children, a puzzle should not consist of too many pieces, as this could easily overwhelm the children and cause them to lose interest in the puzzle. Of course, the puzzle should also not be too easy, because if it is not challenging enough, the child will also quickly lose interest. It may therefore be a little tricky. This spurs the children on and challenges them.
Play alone, have fun together.
Jigsaw puzzles are practical because they can be played alone or together with others. A joint puzzle session is a great way to combine fun parent-child time. While looking for the matching puzzle pieces together, you can talk, discuss the motifs of the puzzle, discover details and much more. In this way, the child's language vocabulary and general communication skills are promoted and trained.
