A toddler’s brain is just like clay it can be molded easily at such a tender age. If it is

developed in the right direction then it can really help a child grow positively.

For the purpose of constructive development of a child’s brain, puzzles can perform a

vital role. It is found by a research that a child’s brain development is highly influenced

when a child himself manipulates the world around him and uses his intellectual to deal

with the environment.

A puzzle indeed teaches a child to interact with the physical objects present around him

and thus enhance many abilities of the child like:

– Problem solving ability

– Hand – eye coordination

– Shape recognizing ability:

– Fine motor tactics

– Memory

PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY The art of easily solving a problem is quite essential and

pivotal.

In one’s daily life situations one has to encounter a lot of

problems, no matter big or small, but if one has good

problem solving tactics then he can easily sneak out of

that problem.

A puzzle increases a child’s problem solving ability many

folds. It gives a sense of understanding to the child that

whether the puzzle is getting solved or not, when he tries

to fit together different pieces of the puzzle.

There can only be two outcomes, either the pieces will fit

together or not, this helps a child to understand the

solution logically.

HAND – EYE

COORDINATION

Eyes see the object and provide

an input to the brain and brain in

turn analyze it and sends a signal

to hands in order to perform the

required task. When a child takes

away, flips or fits a piece of the

puzzle then he learns how to

coordinate between these two

essential organs. This ability to

coordinate smoothly and swiftly

between hand and eye is quite

important.

SHAPE RECOGNIZING ABILITY

Learning to recognize different shapes is an integral

part of a child’s development. It teaches him how to

distinguish between various objects. Puzzles are

indeed a very efficient way to help a toddler get

familiarize with different shapes and sizes of objects,

since it is necessary to recognize an object’s shape

before assembling it.

FINE

MOTOR

TACTICS

Fine motor skills are

those particular

movements required to

move or join different

pieces of puzzle. Such

movements help a little

kid easily learn the art

of handwriting.

MEMORY Last but not the least; a

puzzle is very useful in

improving a child’s

memory drastically.

In order to solve the

puzzle a child has to

recall the color, shape,

and size of various jigsaw

pieces.

This gives a boost to the memory

power of the child.

SOME

PRECAUTIONS

FOR

GUARDIANS

While puzzles are a simple method

to develop child’s mental intellect,

but care must be taken that he or

she are not pressurized to

complete the task. Let them

perform it on their own with their

own strategy. You could set up

small goals first and when the child

become expert in it then you could

encourage him to move further

towards larger goals.
