Jigsaw puzzles - tools for the education of children

puzzles played an important role in the way my parents raised me as a child. We would spend hours filling puzzles, and I learned as a child some of the great puzzles have lessons to offer.

I still remember her mother go to the store every few weeks for the purchase of puzzle game. We have chosen some puzzle fun with cartoon characters but mainly we would have a puzzle and select foreign countries> Puzzle with images of cultures and ideas that were different from ours.

We would go home and spend time together with the whole family, the composition of our new puzzle. How do you put the puzzle together to the end of the day, Dad would always ask me my day (this was the time of my day I looked at the day case) and what I was thinking of different things in the family and city. Mom would always teach usWhat we saw in the puzzle we were.

I remember as a puzzle that had a picture of a little wooden hut with an older man with a bundle of sticks on his back near his tiny wooden hut, a beautiful scene of distant mountains. Mom and dad told me all about Tibet, and the beautiful mountains of the area. He taught me how some people live differently in other countries. I remember asking why the man who looked like my grandfatherhad to work so hard with the heavy sticks on their shoulders. We spent hours talking big about the world around us - all with the help of a simple puzzle.

Now look at my son when he faced the television sites on most of the day I wonder if I still find a lot of good places to buy puzzles that my son enjoys it as how I enjoyed the enigma of my childhood. I wonder if maybe I can teachlike my parents taught me - with puzzles as a tool to raise my son.
