Jigsaw puzzle games are extremely important for a child's psychomotor development. During these activities, kids use fine motor skills, form imaginative thinking and develop artistic taste. Children's mosaic contributes to the education of such important qualities as dedication and perseverance.
Instructions
Step 1
A standard mosaic with small details is more suitable for a child 3-4 years old, but now there are a lot of play sets that will interest even a one-year-old baby. A mosaic for the smallest usually does not have a field, and its components are large volumetric figures that are combined using various slots and protrusions. This mosaic can be laid out on any straight surface. During the game, remember that the baby is interested not only in the final result, but also in the process of drawing up bright and unusual details. This type of mosaic can serve a child up to 4-5 years of age, but the number of details in the game should grow with the baby.
Step 2
For two-year-old children, you can purchase the so-called mosaic without "legs". These sets contain large parts that are held together by special tabs on the field. Usually this play has a vertical surface that does not restrict the child's movement during play. It is good if such a field is painted in different colors or illustrated with pictures of animals and plants. The kid, correlating the colors of the components of the mosaic and the protrusions, can independently create interesting compositions.
Step 3
From the age of 3, the child can be introduced to the magnetic mosaic. Usually, such kits have a metal field and special magnetic chips that are easily attached to the surface. The key advantage of magnetic mosaics is the absence of conventional mechanical fasteners. Such details move well across the field and simply add up to the most bizarre compositions. In addition, it will be interesting for a little researcher to get acquainted with the phenomenon of magnetism.
Step 4
For older children, you can purchase play sets made of mosaic smalt. This mosaic is made of special opaque glass of various colors and shades. With the help of smalt, a child can create a unique composition that will decorate your home.
