1. Don’t only care about the number of pieces. When choosing a puzzle, the difficulty and the easy must be alternated. Don’t think that the more pieces, the more interesting the baby will find it, because the easy and easy puzzles can increase the baby’s sense of accomplishment, while the more difficult puzzles can help the baby develop patience and increase observation. Two puzzles are combined for baby to play.
2. Pay attention to the type of pattern. In addition to the number of pieces, the difficulty of the puzzle is also very important. Usually, cartoons and lines with clear color blocks are easier to put together, and those with single color or color gradient that are not easy to distinguish are more difficult.
3. Don’t overestimate your baby’s abilities. Some parents feel that the baby is very capable because they see the baby do well, so they choose to skip several levels of the puzzle for the baby. At this time, the baby may have a great sense of frustration because he can’t complete it, and it may not be completed for a long time. Willing to touch the puzzle. Frustration too much will make the baby lose confidence and interest, so don’t overestimate the baby’s ability!
4, do not rush to tell the baby the correct position or skills. When guiding your baby to play puzzles, it is very important to wait. It is better to let the baby discover some useful puzzle skills by himself than to tell him directly, and the baby’s wisdom will be exercised at this time.
5. Guide from easy to difficult. For a baby who has never played with puzzles, it is best to show him the process of putting together four pieces of a puzzle into a complete picture, and let him carefully observe the final pattern. Then, you try to remove one piece of the puzzle and put it aside, so that there is one less piece of the puzzle, then let him observe the edges and color features of the removed piece of the puzzle, and let the baby try to put this piece The puzzle pieces are put back in their original positions to form a complete picture. When the baby has been able to put the removed 1 piece of the puzzle back into the corresponding position, you can try to remove the two pieces of the puzzle and let him think and solve the problem by himself.
6. Heuristic guidance. When playing puzzles, you need to inspire your baby to think and observe from time to time, instead of doing it for your baby. For example, you can remind your baby in the game: Can the lines of this puzzle connect with the lines of that puzzle? Are the two pieces the same color? Can they be put together? Look for the four sides of each puzzle And the four corners, see how they are different? It is important for your baby to find and understand the meaning of the puzzle on his own.
Jigsaw puzzles are good educational toys for babies, from which he can experience: the correspondence and spatial concepts from edge to corner, top to bottom, left to right, which are of great help to the baby’s intelligent development.
