Puzzles also give very clear yes and no scenarios, which helps kids see a problem to the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puzzles also come in various levels of skill, which allows room for growth as kids get older. Start toddlers out with basic wooden puzzles that fit into simple molds. Then you can move up to 20 or 30-piece picture puzzles. And as your child continues to grow and each level of puzzles becomes easier and easier, you can continue to challenge them with new, fun puzzles! You can even match the puzzle themes to their interests to make them even more fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Playdoh &amp; Kinetic Sand<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playdoh and Kinetic Sand are amazing toys for kids for so many reasons. These kinds of toys inspire creativity and imagination to create whatever they want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with playdoh and kinetic sand helps develop fine motor skills. Creating small balls, arms, legs, or other detailed items can help fine-tune a child&#8217;s motor skills.
