The Great Puzzle Race....

We used to do puzzles around here daily. The kids had one or two 5000 piece puzzles going at a time. Well, today we had some extra time on our hands and this group of young men had never been part of the puzzlers. My puzzle workers have now graduated going on to careers and college!

I gave these guys two sets of 100 piece jr big piece puzzles and was absolutely shock that even working in teams it took them over an hour to complete the two puzzles. Many times they wanted to give up. And as you can see they even lost 5 pieces to one of the puzzles during the process. Later the pieces were found on the floor under the table.

Puzzles are important. They help focus, concentration, organization, problem solving, memory, visual cues, etc...I can go on for days and days. So, until these guys can do a 100 piece jr. puzzle in 15-20 minutes, they will be doing puzzles at least three times a week!
