Puzzle Time ♥ 拼图时间

As a full time mom, we spend every minutes with our little ones and honestly sometimes we do feel that, hmm... it's bored! we need to get/do something to spend time. I also don't have much ideas like you, the only thing i can do is google search again, looking for something fun and hopefully something can also support child development. And, what i studied recently is about Puzzle, yeah, share my reading together with you here~


Below are the three basic skills which can be built with puzzle games:

    ✎ Physical skills -- from holding puzzle pieces and turning them until they fit

    ✎ Cognitive skills -- as they solve the problems of a puzzle

    ✎ Emotional skills -- they learn patience and are rewarded when they complete the puzzle

And these three basic skills are the building blocks for a well rounded person.

Looking at the specific skills behind the three basics:

Physical skills

    Hand-Eye Coordination -- your child will develop a keen relationship between what their eyes see, what their hands do and what their brain relates to this information.

    Gross Motor Skills -- Larger puzzle pieces and stacking puzzle games can enhance the large movements of your child to the point where they can then work on their fine motor skills.

    Fine Motor Skills -- small and precise movements, such as the movement of fingers to get a puzzle piece in exactly the right spot, are built and can lead to better handwriting and typing skills.

Cognitive skills

    Understanding the surrounding world -- there is no better way for your child to gain an understanding of the world around them than by letting them literally manipulate the world around them.

    Shape recognition -- the first puzzles we use are simple shapes -- triangle, squares and circles. From there more complex shapes are used until the abstract jigsaw puzzles are used.

    Memory -- Your child has to remember the shape of pieces that don’t fit fir when they will fit later on.

    Problem solving -- Either the puzzle piece fits or it does not. Your child uses critical thinking skills to solve the puzzle and, best of all, you can’t cheat a puzzle!

Emotional skills

    Setting goals -- The first goal is to solve the puzzle, the next goal will be a series of strategies your child comes up with to solve the puzzle. Such as putting familiar shapes or colors in one pile for future reference.

    Patience -- Puzzles are not like sports, you can’t just step up to the plate and swing until you knock it out of the park. You must practice patience and slowly work through the puzzle before you reach the ending.


每个妈妈必然都有一样的经历,一天和孩子相处的时光那么长,要如何好好的利用呢?当然于孩子的每个阶段所进行的事项都是不同的,但是,其中有一个游戏是能于孩子小时就开始然后慢慢进阶,那就是拼图啦。

至于什么时候就可以开始介绍拼图游戏给孩子呢?你可以尝试观察,当宝宝能用单手拿起小物、讲物品放入置物盒内、尝试操纵对象比如尝试开箱,那么你就可以尝试给宝宝玩拼图啦。

下面是三个基本能从拼图里吸收到的技能:

    
✎物理技能 - 拿起拼图,并尝试将之置入正确位置

    
✎认知技能 - 当完成拼图时其实孩子们已经在不知不觉中解决了问题

    
✎情绪的技巧 - 耐性的培养接下来看看更详细的说明:

       ✍了解“部分”与“全部”的关系

  拼图可以让宝宝知道许多的“部分”能拼凑出一个“全部”,以及“一个全部”是由“许多部分”所组成的。

  ✍ 培养平面组合的概念

  积木是立体的组合,而拼图是一种平面组合的概念,在局限的2D范围里拼出一个物品,一个合乎逻辑的东西。

  ✍ 学会顺序/秩序/逻辑的意义

  许多宝宝在一开始接触多片的拼图时,自然就知道要从边缘开始拼,这就是学习顺序、秩序及逻辑的意义,并且从观察与判断中学习分类,他得观察范例上的正确拼法,才能拼出正确答案。

  ✍ 增进操作及手眼协调能力

  拼图需要宝宝耐心的操作,以及手眼协调能力,只要一不协调就不能将色块放在正确的位置。一开始不会拼的宝宝,只要多练习几次自然就会了。

  ✍ 培养观察力,培养耐心、专注力
    刚开始学拼图时,通常都是从日常生活中的图案拼起,所以宝宝要熟悉身边的事物,才能按照逻辑拼出正确的图形。除此之外,玩拼图还可以培养宝宝的耐心及专注力,让他可以坐得住地做一件事。

  ✍ 学习解决问题的方法及策略

  玩拼图能学习推理思考能力,因为宝宝会尝试不同的选择,决定正确的一片放下去,也就是经过假设、判断到选择的过程,学习运用逻辑来解决问题的方法。

  ✍ 提高挫折忍受度及耐力

  宝宝在玩拼图的过程中难免会有拼错的时候,这时他会感到挫折,不想再玩了,但是大人可以从旁协助,帮助宝宝渡过难关。

  ✍ 从混乱/破坏重建中获得肯定,建立自信心

  当宝宝完成拼图时,会很有成就感,这是提高宝宝兴趣很重要的元素,也是日后让他独立完成拼图的自信心来源。
