Puzzles are a great way to build important skills, and they have a place in every playroom and classroom, from preschool through high school. Here are our favorite puzzles for kids from age 2 through high school. You may even find a few that end up on your puzzle board.
Puzzles are more than just creating a picture out of tiny cardboard pieces. They’re great for kids’ development. Working on a puzzle:
- Develops children’s problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
- Develops hand-eye coordination
- Helps children with pattern recognition
- Helps children develop fine motor skills
- Helps children with memory
- Reinforces that we scan left-to-right, for younger children
- Teaches kids not to give up
