Kids Jigsaw Puzzles


Kids jigsaw puzzles help them to develop a number of skills which develop their brains. Grasping and manipulating the puzzle pieces themselves helps them develop the fine motor skills needed for writing and other delicate tasks.

Children will often naturally sort pieces based on size, shape, and color. This means they are categorizing the pieces, which is a higher level thinking skill according to experts and is a talent they’ll need throughout their lives.



An even more valuable skill taught with childrens jigsaw puzzles is that of problem-solving. They have to figure out which pieces go together to create the image.

Working with your child to put together a jigsaw puzzle is a fantastic way to spend quality time together.
