Puzzles are INVALUABLE in the way they help our children and give them so much learning goodness in just a little bitty box.
When a child is doing a puzzle, that child is:
- Using spatial awareness to rotate pieces
- Problem-solving
- Improving visual discrimination by looking for details
- Concentration / independent work / Patience
- Fine motor skills to pick up small pieces
- Hand-eye coordination to turn the pieces
- Intrinsic motivation and the desire to accomplish a task for your own personal gratification.
1.Dodo Observation Puzzle World of Animals
What it is: An 80-piece jigsaw that fits together to make a map of the world with different animal on it in the geographical region they come from. More animals run round the border of the finished puzzle.
Why we love it: The jigsaw’s a good challenge for a 5 or 6-year-old and the finished picture is bright and appealing. We like the border, which you could use as a spotting game, matching the animals there to the ones on the map. Our child tester Elijah, 7, said: “The jigsaw was a bit tricky at first but I finished it in the end and it made me happy that I had done it by myself. I liked looking for the animals on the map – some of them were in more than one place!”
