01. How do make children like puzzles?
I want you to think about a question first, what should you do if your child likes the new and hates the old when playing with toys?
In fact, this is a very common phenomenon. In the beginning, the child likes the new toy so much that when someone touches it, he immediately hugs it tightly. But within a few days, the new toy was randomly thrown in the storage box, and it stinks more than stinky shit.
Mainly because most parents like to throw toys in front of their children and let them play by themselves. However, this approach can easily make new toys lose their appeal and freshness, and make children no longer interested in new toys.
Those who don't seem to like playing puzzles are probably the same, warm-up for two or three days, and then abandon them cruelly. Therefore, parents will feel that their children do not like to play with puzzles.
It's easy to find the reason, we can use the easiest way to solve it, that is to play with it!
That's right, jigsaw puzzles are a good parent-child cooperation project, especially for little ones, as long as parents can play with them and encourage them properly, they will definitely like jigsaw puzzles more and more!
Of course, in addition to parents and children, children can also cooperate with other small partners to find the unique fun of jigsaw puzzles, which cannot be achieved by other toys.
02. What are the benefits of playing puzzles?
After we let children fall in love with jigsaw puzzles, we will learn about the benefits of playing jigsaw puzzles, so that we can achieve high-quality play with them.
1) One of the most obvious benefits of playing jigsaw puzzles is that it can exercise children's observation ability.
Now is the era of rapid development of information, if you want to gain more knowledge, you must learn to observe. Observation is an important way for people to understand the world and acquire knowledge. Every time I play a puzzle with Baby Lele, she will carefully check each piece of the puzzle and tell me where it should be placed, and will also compare the colors and shapes of the puzzles, etc.
This is the benefit of jigsaw puzzles, which can exercise children's observation skills, let them gradually understand the depth of colors, the straightness of lines, various graphics, etc., and unconsciously cultivate children's image thinking ability.
2) The second benefit of playing jigsaw puzzles is to exercise children's cognition of the whole and parts and improve their logical thinking ability.
When I took Lele baby to play jigsaw puzzles, every time she finished a piece, she would "seal" it with her hand, telling me that she had finished another part, and she could finish the whole piece in no time. This is also Lele's understanding of "whole" and "part". She gradually understood that "whole" is composed of many "parts", which is the benefit of playing puzzles.
