Why puzzles help your child learn

From the moment a small child starts to use their hands, their development takes off in leaps and bounds. Everything within sight and reach feeds the hungry mind.

Our puzzles are an important ingredient. They may be colourful and humourous, but they have the serious purpose of developing a child's shape recognition, manual dexerity skills and hand-eye co-ordination. Conventional printed and cardboard puzzles encourage children to look at the picture but not the shape of the piece. This means they miss out on the skill of shape recognition. Shape recognition is the pre-requisite to learning the alphabet and learning to read. Manual dexerity and hand-eye co-ordination are vital when learning to write. The familar animals and vehicles stimulate a child's imagination and improve their vocabulary.

Our puzzles are used extensively in UK and European schools. Many parents recognise the importance of supplementing school activity with home-based learning. Our puzzles make learning easy!
