Giant Animals, 500-piece puzzle

Playing with puzzles provides children with a host of benefits for their cognitive and personality development:

• They teach them to overcome challenges, tolerate difficulties, and improve logic and language.
• It strengthens family relationships and socialization if done as a family.
• Improves attention and concentration.
• With puzzles, children observe and explore the objects around them.
• They learn to control themselves and reflect before acting.
• They develop spatial vision and cognitive skills, learning concepts from the different topics covered in the puzzle.
• They improve perceptual reasoning and mathematical skills, as well as problem solving.
• They develop fine motor skills, small manipulative movements, and having to place pieces in their place with skill and precision.
• They develop eye-hand coordination.
• They increase their ability to extract specific information from something general, and vice versa; they build a whole (the puzzle) from something concrete (the piece). They learn to synthesize information received from their environment.
• It helps improve self-esteem and motivation; completing a puzzle is a success for the child and a motivation to continue doing more.
• They also learn to organize information and concepts around them, as they must put the pieces in order before completing it.
