Gorgeous, Kathryn! I sat with a 5 year old this week at work, who doesn’t have the greatest concentration span, doing a puzzle. They chose it themselves and I asked if they knew the best way to do a puzzle - the corners and edges. Grouping colours. They have multiple languages at home and struggles with language at times. What an amazing time it was, nudging them along when “it’s too hard” escaped their lips. The satisfaction on that little face at the end when the final piece was put in was just wonderful!
Thank you for your lovely words and quotes. One piece at a time... 💖
Don't we all long to place that final piece? Then we jumble up what took so long, so we can do it again. Except, I've seen some people put the finished product under glass to savor the pleasure. I suppose there are many ways to play with a puzzle and many ways to experience life. Thanks for the story of your young students.
I just love the simplicity and wisdom in this. I'll never look at a jigsaw puzzle with the same eyes.
Thanks Evelyn.
