Publisher's Synopsis
Solving Simple Mazes at an Early Age Helps With Your Child's Mental and Physical Development. Mazes are a huge hit with pediatricians, child psychologists, parents, and most of all children! SOLVING MAZES HELP DEVELOP: Problem-Solving Skills: When children solve mazes, even simple ones, they break down the process into an order and sometimes apply creative strategies to complete the tasks (for example, sometimes they start from the end.) Physical Motor Skills: Mazes require children to be aware of the path and boundaries that the maze presents. They attempt to draw the trail without touching the lines. This takes time, concentration, and focus. Eye-Hand Coordination: Completing a maze forces children to align what they see with the marks (drawing the lines) they make. This exercises coordination and hand control, as well as developing spatial awareness. Confidence and Self-Esteem: Successfully solving mazes promote self-confidence, pride, and accomplishment. Even simple mazes provide challenges that require evaluation, critical thinking, and action. Instructions: The mazes contained in this book are simplified so that children at a very early age can start to understand simple problem-solving. These are visual puzzles that can be easily solved simply by drawing a line from the entry point (i.e. Start) to the exit point (i.e. End). It is advised that you encourage and reward your child's accomplishments with validation and praise.
