Toddlers receive many great benefits by completing puzzles. Children will usually start out with something simple that has knobs on it. The outlines will be simple and shaped to fit into the corresponding cutout. When your toddler is completing a puzzle on his/her own they are developing:
Physical skills – this is done by holding puzzle pieces and turning them into the slot until they fit.
Cognitive Skills – this skill is developed as they solve the puzzle.
Emotional Skills – as your toddler learns to complete a puzzle on their own, they learn patience and are rewarded when they complete it.
