🎉🧩 Yesterday was National Puzzle Day! 🧩
We celebrated the power of puzzles! Did you know that puzzles are an AMAZING way for preschoolers to grow and learn? 🤔 Here are just a few reasons why puzzles are perfect for kids ages 3-5:
🌟 Boost Cognitive Skills: Puzzles challenge young minds to think critically and solve problems.
🌟 Improve Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating puzzle pieces helps develop hand-eye coordination and strengthens little fingers!
🌟 Promote Patience & Persistence: Completing a puzzle teaches kids the importance of perseverance and focus. 🌟 Encourage Spatial Awareness: As children figure out how pieces fit together, they develop a better understanding of shapes and space.
At Washington, we love making learning fun with hands-on activities like puzzles! 🧸✨ #NationalPuzzleDay #TheWashingtonWay #CognitiveDevelopment #LearningThroughPlay #HarvardRising
