Family Jigsaw Puzzles

Puzzles have long been used as a means of relaxation and good old entertainment. It’s fun to peruse the pieces and try to connect them in the right place. Puzzles come in a variety of themes and a number of pieces reflective of different age groups. But aside from being captivating, puzzles are engaging, stimulating and beneficial for both kids and adults.

Puzzles improve and enhance cognitive skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, hand and eye coordination, memory, shape and spatial awareness, and concentration. As beneficial as these attributes are, most of us just want to enjoy the experience of putting an exciting puzzle together with our family. My family loves getting together on cold or rainy days and working on some puzzles. Here are some of our newest puzzles from Chronicle Books. They’re fun, colorful and entertaining.
