It has been proven that puzzles enhance learning and development in children and adults. Moreover, they have been scientifically proven to have a significant effect on promoting new skills.
So, if you've ever thought about doing puzzles, but haven't done yet. Here are some puzzle facts you really should consider:
- Doing puzzles enhances your spatial and mathematical skills: When you work on a puzzle, you learn about the different planes in which objects are placed. This increases spatial perception and enhances perceptual reasoning, enabling children to perceive three-dimensional space and become more familiar with the shape.
- Puzzle-solving also stimulates and develops visual memory: Children and adults can develop their visual memory through puzzle-solving because, in order to achieve it, they need to memorize the pattern and not look at it too frequently.
- Practicing it regularly helps in self-control: while doing puzzles you are faced with challenging positions because sometimes it takes longer than usual to find the right piece. This allows you to practice tolerance against frustration when you see that the puzzle is difficult to put together and, without realizing it, they practice self-control, which in turn helps you reflect on things before acting.
- Jigsaw Puzzles improve problem-solving skills too!: Solving puzzles improves an individual's ability to think critically since the goal of a puzzle is to solve a problem. During this process, you acquire patience, determination, and organization skills. Once you solve a puzzle, you feel satisfied. As a result, the confidence level of children and adults can be increased for solving problems and overcoming challenges.
- Increases self-esteem: As soon as people solve a puzzle successfully, they feel satisfied and motivated. Each success they have builds their self-esteem and motivates them to do more, as each little thing they accomplish builds their confidence.
- Puzzles act as stressbusters: Assembling a puzzle requires a lot of concentration. It has been proven that focusing on solving puzzles helps children and adults forget about their surroundings for a period of time and therefore reduce their levels of anxiety and tension.
