There are also two misunderstandings about jigsaw puzzles. I hope parents can pay attention to:

1. There is no need to start from the corner - many parents have their own habits. For example, they like to start from the corner, which makes it easier to operate. However, it may be difficult for children to understand, and the blocks at the edges and corners often lack key graphic details, and the pattern is highly repetitive. So in the early stage, parents can put aside this view and do not have to force their children to do it from the corner. They should first observe how the children operate, and then guide them at the right time.

2. There is no need to refer to the original picture to make a puzzle - for children, the pieces of the puzzle are not cut based on the original outline of the pattern. A puzzle may have local features of twoorthree things, and it is difficult for children to correspond these scattered pieces with the original picture. If you forcibly refer to the original picture to spell, it will have a great challenge to the child's overall view and sense of orientation. This way will greatly reduce the child's interest at the beginning of the puzzle, but the gains will not pay off. If the child can observe by himself, focus on the details, and slowly spell the whole according to his own attempts, it is not impossible.
