How to play the jigsaw puzzles kids will love?

1. Choose the right puzzle

Like many children, for example, when they were young, their observation skills were slack. When the carton was so lively, she didn't know where to look. Even if I pointed to a certain area, she would still be "distracted".

This is a typical manifestation of "information overload". If this problem has already occurred in your family, I really recommend that you take your children to play more puzzles every day, which will improve.

How to play together, the first step must be to choose a puzzle that suits the child's ability and difficulty, that is, start with a small number of pieces.

After opening a box of puzzles, the first thing we can do with our child is to turn the puzzle pieces upside down and arrange them.

Look at it piece by piece, this is the first step of observation: looking for characteristic puzzle pieces. Like the face or body of an animal, or a brightly colored flower, or four right angles.

After finding a characteristic puzzle, use this puzzle as a starting point to find puzzles that have similar characteristics and can be combined together.

2. Observe the characteristics and guide the children to spell on their own

Several readers once left me a message saying that children play puzzles by memory, not by observation.

I inquired carefully, and found that when playing for the first time, children rely on the help of adults to demonstrate, and then they rely on memory to complete the game. Such puzzle-playing loses the ability to practice observation, concentration, and problem-solving through the puzzle.

When the children's ability cannot be achieved, they can be divided into tasks through instructions to help them, and start from parts. Don't do it for you, but help the child to do it by himself. In one sentence: Don't rush to help, remember to speak first.
