Puzzles

Two of our kids have really struggled with fine motor skills so for a long time we did not push things like puzzles. We were hoping by waiting it would ease their frustration and they would be able to do puzzles when they were older.
However after talking with a good friend about all the great benefits of doing puzzles, critical thinking, visual processing, fine motor skills, and just confidence we decided to make it part of our daily routine.
When we started our son who struggles with fine motor was only able to do a 9 piece puzzle. Now he is putting together 35 piece puzzles. Our daughter who was able to do 24 piece puzzles is now up to 40-60. Another one of our kids started out doing 50 piece puzzles and is now doing 100-300 piece puzzles.
In addition to the confidence our kids have gained we have noticed that their visual processing and critical thinking and fine motor skills that have done amazingly well.

2021 Puzzle Update:
Our son who started with 9 pieces is now up to 50.
Our daughter whos started at 24 is now up to 100. 
Our daughter who started at 50 pieces is now doing 100-300 pieces with ease.
