The Benefits of Puzzles for Your Child’s Development:
• Hand-Eye Coordination. Puzzles can help develop hand-eye coordination—when your child flips, turns, removes (etc., etc.) pieces of the puzzle, they are learning the connection between their hands and their eyes.
• Fine Motor Skills. These skills require small, specialized movements (similar to hand-eye coordination) that puzzles definitely help to provide. Fine motor skills are necessary for handwriting and other important early development achievements.
• Gross Motor Skills. Most commonly associated with walking, gross motor skills can be enhanced in young children by stacking blocks and other large-count, easily-manipulated puzzles.
• Problem Solving. You can’t force two puzzle pieces that just don’t fit! Your child will develop problem-solving skills as they look at various puzzle pieces to figure out where they fit or don’t fit.
• Shape Discovery. Puzzles can help little ones learn, recognize and sort shapes because they’ll need to do this before they can assemble the puzzle.
• Memory. A puzzle is a great activity to help build your child’s memory. For example, they will need to memorize the size, color and shape of a piece as they work through the puzzle. If it doesn’t fit right away, they’ll have to set it aside and recall that piece when it’s needed.
