Activity Name : Three piece puzzle

Benefits: Fine motor development, cognition development

Required age: 30 month onwards

Material needed: Three piece puzzle set.

We can start as early as 24 months ,since my daughter was not ready I have introduced her little late.

• My daughter doesn’t show much interest in solving puzzles. It’s her least priority so I never rushed her to do it. She will quickly get stressed out if she couldn’t complete the puzzle.
• We had more than 20 sets of the 3-piece puzzle in the box. My daughter was overwhelmed to check and solve them.
• So instead of providing in bulk, I have sorted two sets and gave her only those 2 sets of puzzles. It was easy for us to clean them at the end.

• She was bit stress free and show more interest in doing it as it was paired and sorted instead of having it in bulk.

Activity Name : Differentiating Big and Small

Benefits: cognition development

Required age: After 30 months

Material needed: Variety of items but try to get big and small items of same kind.

• Place one item at a time. For example, display the ball(small and big) and ask the kid to identify which is big and which is small.
• Place only one item for identification. Otherwise, kids will get confused and lose interest.
• After identifying, place the next item and continue the same process.
  Kids will grasp this concept if we apply it in day to day life.
