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!Making music at home f= megaphone pencil jug we _— es Cry pes baseball ae hall bat 3 of pie crescent moon = candle by (ZZ toothbrush ES el y 7 PC \.J3) & ed = —=~ a a | SY terme | | — — sailing boat S ‘ 4 bot g crayon Se telescope 0 ny i hy a \) UNE a Z. : Ve needle i gf i F z i golf club iPlaying our recorders DOR MU Ca cePerforming as a band eR USSR CL AU crayon spoon torch hile teacup fish hook Pe Yo oy = pel a7) ZIT eSGetting a snack SS UU UU a egCan you find these things in the big picture?
