Much has been made of the link between certain activities that involve both mental and physical exercises and the possibility of increasing overall well being, especially in seniors.

What age should you start jigsaw puzzles?. It′s interesting that puzzles are often used by young children to develop their motor and visual skills. It is almost intuitive to recognise that any child that can hold a jigsaw puzzle piece and understand that it is part of a larger picture will benefit from the past time.

It is also widely seen as an instructive mechanism whereby an adult can help a youngster to assemble a puzzle no matter the number of pieces. Children′s puzzles tend to have few pieces (as few as four or five pieces) and have very simple motifs such as a household animal or some very simple shapes familiar to the child

You can make puzzles online and some of them can be very stimulating. The problem with online puzzles is that space comes at a premium. For a regular cardboard puzzle you might use the entire kitchen table to lay out the puzzle pieces with certain colours being located over here and all straight edges over there, etc.

Online puzzles cannot really handle a large number of pieces. There simply isn′t the room on a computer screen. It′s worth mentioning that online puzzles simulate the sound of perfectly fitting pieces being snapped together as if copying the sound of actual pieces as they fit together.
