My Project
Puzzles are a classic toy for young children. They come in a variety of types, materials, and levels of difficulty. Even infants may explore simple puzzles that involve fitting two pieces together. Puzzles are available with increasing complexity to challenge children as they grow. There are many life tasks that we do daily that are similar to puzzles. For example, fitting items into a box or bag is similar to fitting puzzle pieces into a puzzle form.
Puzzle play is a great time to build cognitive and fine motor skills, but it can also be a time to build social, emotional, and language skills when caregivers use time with puzzles thoughtfully.
Here are five things children learn through puzzle play. Spatial Vocabulary, Sequencing, Task completion and persistence, Fine motor and hand-eye coordination, and, Problem-solving.
I'm also asking for science toys so students can be immersed in the love of discovery and science.
