Completing jigsaw puzzles are a great educational activity, which helps to develop manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, memory, reasoning, concentration, etc., and I am happy it has been one of LM’s favourite activities. However, after completing any given puzzle a couple of times, she seems to start losing interest in it, so I have been looking for ways to “challenge up” her old puzzles. Here are a couple tricks I have learned:
1. You can mix two or more different puzzles, depending on the difficulty, for example two 50-piece puzzles or three 30-piece ones are fine for LM for now as she is comfortable with 100-piece puzzles.
2. Another way is to ask your child to do the puzzle upside-down with the pictures facing the table and with the shapes of the cuts as the only guide. LM quite liked this new approach!
If you know any other way to make a puzzle a bit more challenging, please let me know.
