hi everyone a few tips on jigsaw puzzles
with kids just a few handy things that
gives them some strategies for tackling
jigsaw puzzles in a logical kind of a
way first of all get them to put the
corners in first so when you’re doing
the activity we’re suggesting on kids
brain boosters pop the corners together
get them to roll over grab a corner roll
over and pop the corners in first so
four corners four corners in first once
you pop the corners in then get them
doing the straight edges mmm great for
visual discrimination to have a look and
see which pieces have got straight edges
pick all the straight edge pieces out
and then get them to put all the
straight edges in all the way around the
outside and then once you’ve got the
corners and the straight edges in then
tackle all the center part of the Jigsaw puzzle custom
puzzle just another key when you’re
doing jigsaw puzzles watch yourself bite
your tongue and avoid the word no we’re
wanting kids to enjoy the experience of
trial and error we’re wanting them to
realize that there’s not actually a
failure there’s a step towards achieving
so rather than saying no when they try
and put a piece in and it’s not quite in
the right spot so try it another way try
another way hmm try another way and or
even say something like turn it around
so let’s not use the word know when
we’re doing these activities with kids
because basically it implies a failure
and that they didn’t do it right
what we want to imply is this is a step
this trial and error is a great step
towards achieving so have fun with your
dukes or puzzles
