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!Can you find these things in the big picture? dog lead i é n 2 3 § a ia G g g BsCSU SU ees Settling down to read bo hun apne WIS SSK Es PPK Ws ZB aK G PEPE i LPL DO ( aSetting the imagination free UO CSTR SUC TA ts (ase eae ae fried egg pliers flower envelope artist's brush lollipop © #4 button on slice of watermelon LD 1G ~~ AES > EB = = be A) \ es f Wed © K crescent : N N kiteExploring the deep CEU STRU ns ieClimbing a mountain POOR US V = Santa's hat ioe tube of toothpaste = iv b aos safely pit ice-cream cone handbell a = T= v1 Ws AS NE ti, whe iy oe Oy @ | bl SYTaking to the skies DOUCET SU Ta AN dress WY SY A tans = > Ls Vie A comb fish teacup bell Eee QS GOO banana trainer in-line skate sailing boatAppreciating Beethoven beetle canoe == ‘comb flag drinking Es straw spoegt golf club rail toothbrushMaking our own music CUCU CCE SUT os Cd — ica needle golf club & bulb pear wishbone s TOS slice of bread pennant tack feather pencil ring eee ; flag ee Az x x A : sailing boat ~ OQ) musical note 2 screw << toothbrush teed Sly resStudying Michelangelo pencil No spoon wl clip iw 2 A bell Aust Techy Dave needle coat-hanger oO "toothbrush ladderAspiring to be an artist POm CE Ss A spectacles saucepan coat-hanger ink bottle scissors. _ — irae spoon | oarrct screwdriver P HOC ——=— LS Nice caterpillar artist's brush nail mouse pine 4 __ tack RSE candle 0) ee Ol Cm! « dS ri =i |) a NK are _ I =} uated Unde irTransplanting a tree a. golfclub [sx ! wey hat S S ———— RD 6 artist's brush jar mushroom ore i y ee S am <= S candle ice-cream toothbrush ice-cream fish oO lollipop cone ladder usta Urea neter,Watering the flowers cP Tes in UR ST Oy.
