Puzzles are important for critical thinking, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. Alex has always loved puzzles. We do the huge floor puzzles together and he still enjoys the smaller shape puzzles. He would sit for hours putting them together when he was younger.
Lane is now following his lead and also enjoye puzzles. She is really good at puzzles too! Gabriel, on the other hand, doesn't like them as much as his siblings. I think they are difficult for him due to his fine motor issues.
We went to garage sales this morning and I saw a few preschool 24 piece puzzles for 25 cents. I bought a Diego puzzle and thought it would be good for him but didn't get more because I didn't know if he was interested in that type of puzzle yet.
He has quite the gift for even these puzzles! Andrew and I watched him put it together with few problems. It was neat to watch him thinking about the pieces ad where they go. His problem solving skills are amazing and have definitely developed over the past year.
