National Puzzle Day, January 29








Usborne Puzzle Books help reading comprehension & visual discrimination which in turn helps with reading, spelling, and writing.

Jigsaw Puzzle Books also stimulates small motor skills and spatial awareness.
"Studies have suggested a link between a well-developed sense of spatial awareness and artistic creativity, as well as success in math. It can also be important in the development of abstract thought. The ability to organize and classify abstract mental concepts is related to the ability to organize and classify objects in space. Visual thinkers, in particular, will tend to use their visual imagination to organize abstract thought."

And they are just plain FUN!
