These Judy/Instructo collectible puzzles were excellent for use during free time and corresponded to many Preschool or Kindergarten units of study.&...nbsp; I would number the puzzles with a small sticker and a number and have the child bring a "task card" with numbers 1-10 to show completion of each puzzle. They would turn in their completed task cards for a trip to the treasure box which was always a positive motivator!
Puzzles are excellent for improving:
Physical skills
Physical skills -- from holding puzzle pieces and turning them until they fitCognitive skills -- as they solve the problems of a puzzleEmotional skills -- they learn patience and are rewarded when they complete the puzzleCognitive skillsUnderstanding the surrounding world -- there is no better way for your child to gain an understanding of the world around them than by letting them literally manipulate the world around them.Shape recognition -- the first puzzles we use are simple shapes -- triangle, squares and circles. From there more complex shapes are used until the abstract jigsaw puzzles are used.Memory -- Your child has to remember the shape of pieces that don’t fit fir when they will fit later on.Problem Solving - Either the puzzle piece fits or it does not. Your child uses critical thinking skills to solve the puzzle and, best of all, you can’t cheat a puzzle!Emotional skillsSetting goals -- The first goal is to solve the puzzle, the next goal will be a series of strategies your child comes up with to solve the puzzle. Such as putting familiar shapes or colors in one pile for future reference.Patience -- Puzzles are not like sports, you can’t just step up to the plate and swing until you knock it out of the park. You must practice patience and slowly work through the puzzle before you reach the ending.
