Initially a baby recognizes objects by their shape rather than its position. A cup is a cup whether it is standing upright, or upside down. The simple puzzles created for young children require more refined and defined skills and mental assimilation.
When introducing a new puzzle, do it with the child at first. Make this a happy social time and lots of fun. Do the puzzles with the child long enough to maintain the child’s interest and attention, but be ready to move on to another activity. Eventually when the child’s dexterity and confidence has increased, he will want to do it by himself. With praise and encouragement the child will practice until the skills become familiar.
