Alphabets, numbers, shapes, animals, and time are few examples of puzzles that the students do.

Puzzles are good in developing motor skills,recognition, and cognitive functions and are often used for toddlers and young children. 

At first we have to guide them in matching the pieces but as time passes they start to develop recognition and can do the puzzles by themselves and in a faster rate.

Observing the students, I saw that puzzles also help develop focus and patience. 

Some students who are too active and fidgety seem to calm down while doing puzzles.

With these observations, I can safely say that having age appropriate and different kinds of puzzle in the classroom is a great teaching aid.
