According to developmental psychologist Dr. Sarah Chen, children who engage in hands-on puzzle-solving with parental guidance show 40% better spatial reasoning scores than those who learn through digital methods alone. The tactile experience of wooden pieces interlocking creates neural pathways that screen-based activities simply cannot replicate. This collection of 12 carefully selected puzzles represents the perfect spectrum for scaffolded learning—each piece building upon the last, allowing parents to guide their children through increasingly complex challenges while sharing moments of discovery.
