Description
- 【Dexterity】Puzzles build physical dexterity. This can be particularly helpful for the very young and the very old who need some practice in dexterity and physical coordination. For example, many senior care experts recommend jigsaw puzzles to exercise the fingers and hands. Similarly, jigsaw puzzles help children develop eye-hand coordination and dexterity.
- 【Memory】Puzzles build short term memory and concentration. Again, this is particularly helpful for the very young and very old. In fact, studies have shown that puzzles and other games can help slow the advance of dementia and other forms of memory loss in the elderly. With respect to toddlers and school-age children, puzzles have been found to help with the development of memory, concentration, and patience.
- 【Problem Solving】Jigsaw puzzles are a microcosm of problem solving. To solve a jigsaw puzzle, the mind must recognize that a problem exists, propose a solution, test the solution, adjust if the solution does not work, and persist until the solution is found. While this process may seem like second nature to adults, children must learn this process and other cognitive skills. Jigsaw puzzles provide an opportunity for children to learn these skills in a fun way.
- 【Happiness】Working on, and solving, 1000 piece puzzles is rewarding. In fact, the brain knows that this is rewarding which is why it produces dopamine, a neurotransmitter, when working on, and completing, a puzzle. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that is released when the brain experiences pleasure and helps the brain to encode that pleasure in memory. This means that the brain remembers the pleasure of working on a puzzle and seeks out that pleasure again and again.
- 【Cooperation】Perfect as a group or family activity. This is not only fun, but encourages cooperation and teamwork. At the same time, however, jigsaw puzzles can also teach independence when some are assigned to work on the edges while others work on portions of the picture. Working as a group can also alleviate some of the frustration that children may experience while working on a jigsaw puzzle since the cooperative effort will help solve some of the seemingly unsolvable problems.
