PUZZLES AND JIGSAWS

Jigsaw puzzles are for people of all ages. They are available in many different sizes with varying amounts of pieces normally starting from 4 to 1000.  The old wooden jigsaw puzzles are considered the best and they are handcrafted using mechanical scroll saws.
   
Parents and teachers often use puzzles and jigsaws to make learning fun and for mental stimulation and agility.   Jigsaws are sometimes printed on both sides, to make solving them more challenging.  Young children enjoy jigsaw puzzles with scenes from favourite nursery rhymes or stories.  Puzzles with the alphabet and numbers are very good.  They have an exceptional educational value.

Now jigsaw puzzles are available in spherical shape, which are 2 dimensional.  These are available in shapes like the Moon and Earth.   Technology now provides computer versions of jigsaw puzzle.

Jigsaw puzzles are excellent for brain training and co-ordination improvement. In particular, they work on the ability to reason, analyze, sequence, deduce, logical thought processes and problem solving.

Jigsaw puzzles are unique in that they give us the opportunity to achieve a state of creative meditation, while giving us the satisfaction of accomplishment.

Kids from 8 to 80 love jigsaws.
