Puzzles - entertainment with educational effect

What’s the age to start doing jigsaw puzzles

One of the most frequently asked questions, which worries parents so much is the right age to start giving puzzles to your children. There is no exact answer, because there is not a certain age for the kids to begin doing puzzles. You can offer jigsaw puzzles to your children as soon as they show interest, that is, from an early age. Make sure you choose puzzles with quite large pieces, made of materials safe for children.

The use of puzzles for any age

The positive effect of this activity is obvious, since puzzles are useful at any age. The little ones can play with wooden sorters by fitting the shape into the suitable hole. This develops hand and fingers dexterity, which in the future will affect the ability to write and make different things with the hands.

For children aged 2 years and more, you can choose cubes or large pieces so that they can learn how to correctly combine them by color or picture. Due to repeated attempts to correctly put the pieces to make a picture, children develop logic and reasoning skills. In addition, eye-hand coordination will develop, which is very important in the early years.

From the age of three, children are already able to assemble classic puzzles. They will start with pictures of 20-30 pieces, but the number of fragments will gradually increase, reaching several hundred. Such games will contribute to the development of children's concentration and perseverance. Children will have a sense of dignity, because they can be proud of their achievements and will be ready for new challenges. Also, they will form social skills, as they will be able to quickly and easily solve everyday problems.
