Nowadays, children like to play with different toys, some of which are for physical exercise while others are for educational brain development. Jigsaw puzzles are a quiet game that requires patience, so what is the benefit of jigsaw puzzles for children's growth? We can learn more about it.


Puzzles are a game that requires patience and concentration. When playing puzzles, children not only develop their intelligence, but also cultivate concentration and patience, and reduce the influence of the external environment. This allows them to use their eyes and brain power to complete the game as quickly as possible.


A puzzle is a task that involves putting together all the scattered pieces of a picture to form a complete figure. It requires the child to coordinate their eyes, hands, and brain to complete the task.


Giving your child the right amount of time to play with puzzles will allow them to use their hands and brains independently, and exercise their hand-brain coordination to match the pieces.


Puzzles are not just put together randomly; there are certain rules and methods. Everyone has a different way of doing puzzles, some children like to put them together from top to bottom, some children like to start from simple to complex, and some children like to start from the parts they are familiar with. No matter which way it is, it reflects the child's ability to think differently and have their own way of solving.


For example, we can guide our children to play with puzzles in the following ways.


1. First classify the puzzles according to color, with or without right angles, and with or without straight edges.


2. Observe the color distribution of the example pattern and the outline of people and trees in the example picture.


3. First pieced with right angles, with straight edges, which can be pieced around the perimeter. Start from all around, because it is easier.


4. Of the same color block is generally the same area, a color block by color block connection.


5. Observing the shape of the individual pieces of the puzzle itself can be made to patch the puzzle, this is often the most difficult place to use when the method.


Jigsaw puzzles are a constant opportunity for trial and error, because you may pick up the parts in hand, not necessarily immediately find the exact location, but constantly trying to be where is the right one. Giving children the opportunity to learn through constant trial and error in the process of playing puzzles also exercise inner tolerance, which is a good sign and builds self-confidence.


When more than one child works together on a puzzle, it exercises the child's collective division of labor and collaboration skills. There are always people in society who have high social skills and are good at getting along with people, while some people don't know how to get along with people, and people who are good at getting along with people, whether it's in school, or live or work will always have more opportunities than others.


If you don't know how to get along with people, you are bound to be classified as an alien by society, and even if you are highly learned, you will lose a lot of fun because you are not good at socializing.


And this ability to socialize can also be exercised from an early age, when children work together on puzzles, the process of the puzzle can naturally exercise the child's ability to interact with others and divide the work.
