How to try it
Pick a puzzle your child can nearly manage and sit nearby while they work on it. They ask for help only if they are stuck, and then you point to one area instead of placing the piece.
Materials
- Jigsaw puzzle with a suitable number of pieces
Safety note
Check that puzzle pieces are not small enough to go in the mouth if younger siblings are nearby.
