Learning occurs with every human activity. It is especially effective when the activity is purposeful and focused while at the same time exciting and pleasurable. Solving hidden pictures puzzles is just this kind of activity. Besides being enjoyable, it develops figure-ground perception and improves the ability to establish object constancy and size relationships. Educators have shown that working on such puzzles can also enhance a child’s attention to detail, reinforce good work habits, increase both word and general knowledge and aid in developing self-confidence. With guidance, this potential can be realized. At the start of the activity, the child could be told to look at the big picture and describe the scene as a whole—that is, say what the picture shows or is about. Then he/she could be encouraged to talk about the details. Finally, the child’s attention could be drawn to the things illustrated in the margins and he/she asked to identify them in the big picture. With time and practice, the child could become quite expert at solving the puzzles and would have kept him/herself entertained while he/she was at it! spatula Ss safety pin is | bell teacup candle slice of pie ice-cream tollipop toothbrush (COPTTTITE ek re G mallet horseshoe Y Drawing in the living room light bulb Ww BAVAVAVRS——| Ig ——| =z cs NTS \~ey © wm oy Lf ving in a shoe house kU 3 Pa g 5 = g a 5 3 2 3 = 5 z 2 5 3 g = 2 Q S a = 8 = o 8 “& Li Life in Mouse Town OSU es jy oOo —s > > \ 2h toothbrush & carrot o hi bowl ammer Muffin CF Sy (\ aresee nt Ni slice of bird a bow tie lollipop salt cellar co \ golf . i book cupcake Out in the fields Can you find these things in the big picture? banana ANS 5a ea N : Be PS pacts NVI Among the flowers ET] things a ae MY ae Ge a oa saw kai In the flowerbed ku es ay aes g SEN M aga fi ee LA 5 5 Set A US com Sri Te IN STN Is there a safer way?
