educational puzzles
Have video games totally taken over? It seems that every household with kids all seem to have some sort of DVD or computer game attached to the TV. I grew up under the watchful eyes of my mother who forbade us to watch any television during school nights. We were only allowed to watch TV on weekends. As a result, my siblings and I developed a love for reading. Now that my son is a year old, my husband and I have decided to give him books and educational puzzles instead of toys.
My husband being a crossword puzzle addict himself is a believer in educational puzzles. We’ve both seen firsthand how addictive portable video games can be to kids. I began by giving my son, a wooden puzzle on animals. He also was given a puzzle on body parts and another one on colors and numbers. The last one is his favorite, he loves matching the three cats with the 4 dogs. We hope that when our son grows up, he will also develop a love for reading and learning.
