Why a Puzzle Adventure?

Working on a puzzle together fosters cooperation and improves critical thinking. It’s also a relaxing way to spend quality time as a family while engaging your brains!

Step 1: Choose Your Puzzle

Select a jigsaw puzzle that everyone can enjoy. Consider the following:

• Picture Theme: Choose a design that everyone likes—animals, landscapes, or favourite characters.

Step 2: Set Up Your Workspace

Find a comfortable place to work on your puzzle. Make sure you have:

• A flat surface like a table or the floor.
• Enough room for everyone to see the pieces.
• Good lighting for better visibility.

Step 3: Start Puzzling!

Now the adventure begins! Here’s how to tackle the puzzle:

• Sort Pieces: Start by sorting the pieces by colour or edge pieces.
• Set a Timer: Decide how long you want to work on the puzzle (e.g., 30 minutes). Set the timer and see how much you can complete!

Step 4: Communicate and Collaborate

As you work, encourage teamwork by:

• Calling out where you see matching pieces.
• Helping each other find pieces and fit them together.
• Celebrating small victories as you complete sections!

Safety Tips:

• Ensure the puzzle pieces are kept away from younger siblings or pets to avoid choking hazards.
• If working on the floor, be careful when getting up to avoid tripping.
