- Summary:
-
This booklet examines the educational value of jigsaw puzzles and gives practical suggestions on how to select and make them for use by children ages 1 through 8. It asserts that jigsaw puzzles provide children with the opportunity to develop problem-solving strategies, and discusses a theory of adult-child interaction that encourages the development of such strategies. In addition to problem solving, the booklet discusses how jigsaw puzzles help children to learn about various mathematical concepts and to develop eye-hand coordination, visual discrimination, and social skills. Practical suggestions are given on how to purchase jigsaw puzzles and how to organize the jigsaw puzzle area. A number of techniques for making puzzles are offered. Jigsaw puzzles for special needs children are also discussed briefly. (AS)
