Easy Craft Ideas for Children

We all know that children learn by playing. Still, sometimes we wonder if those games or activities provide children with valuable learning. Of course, not every game will develop skills for them. The solution to this conflict is more straightforward than it seems and is”the puzzle.”

The puzzle is a game that has passed from generation to generation. At some point in our lives, we have all done puzzles. Nowadays,we can find a great variety of styles, colors, and shapes. Still, no matter how the puzzles are, the main goal is to correctly match the tiles until the image is completed.

When we play with boys and girls to put together puzzles, we are generating an incredible amount of learning and stimuli to develop their intelligence and skills, such as:

Fine motor skills, since they will have to place the tiles correctly with their fingers;
Problem-solving, since the child has to observe, identify the problem, compare and solve it;
Memory, here memory is exercised because the image has to be remembered, and they also have to analyze where to put the tile;
Teamwork, although it is an activity that can be done alone, what could be better than doing it as a family. This way,effective bonds are also strengthened, and children are recognized as an important team member;
Logical thinking is developed.

A puzzle like our skeleton craft puzzle is an excellent activity to be done with children. It gives them a break from other forms of entertainment, such as technology.
