Christmas Puzzles Are Great for Kids
Putting together a puzzle is fun, but it also gives kids a chance to practice several important skills.
Picking up, turning, and positioning the puzzle pieces helps younger children develop fine motor skills and visual motor skills. As they study the picture and decide which pieces might fit together, they’re also using problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
Kids can start by finding easy-to-recognize parts of the picture—the Christmas tree, fireplace, presents, or dog—and then work from there.
