Baby puzzles for the youngest - games for development
As soon as the child learns to move the pens meaningfully and concentrate on looking at the pictures, you can start collecting images with him. From the beginning, you need to use pictures divided by 2, and then you can go to those that are divided into 4 parts. Puzzles for the smallest with a large number of details should not be used, because for them they are still too complex, and confidence in their abilities can lose, as well as interest in the game.
Maxi-puzzles for the youngest should be colored and bright, but they should not have small details. Ideally, if it is a large picture of one character or object.
Usually the details of this game for kids are made of paper elements, but there are also toys made of wood, which are sometimes supplemented with special protrusions for easy gripping with hands for easy movement. Wooden puzzles for the youngest are very convenient, and also allow you to train accuracy of capture and fine motor skills.
In shops often there are special big soft puzzles for kids from one and a half years. They are usually bright, comfortable and very interesting. They can play several children at the same time, laying out items on the floor or on the table. In the future, the resulting composition can be used as a mat to the room or to decorate the storage of toys, dolls and cars.
Puzzles for the smallest ones
If mom and dad toddlers have at least some free time, you can try to make this game yourself. To do this, take any simple pictures (according to the principle described above) and cut it vertically or horizontally into two parts (later these parts will have to be placed in front of the child, changing the bottom and top in places, or by placing them at a distance). After the task to collect the whole picture from such details is aspired and becomes too simple for crumbs, it is necessary to pass to the next stage - to cut each of the available details in two parts, so that on the whole the puzzle of four elements turns out. Work with it should start on a "from simple to complex" principle, that is, first place the elements in the desired sequence, but at a short distance from each other, and later place them randomly, but do not rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Over time, even the most complex versions of this game will become easy for your baby. This means that you can go to the pictures of 6 or more details.
If you prepare images and divide them into elements you have no time or do not want, from time to time you can take the kids in a similar on-line game. There are a large number of special children's sites, on which you can select any image with any number of elements. Of course, you can not be allowed to sit at the computer for more than 10-20 minutes, but for joint pastime it is quite suitable. Studying with your son or daughter from time to time, you can have a pleasant and useful time.
