Kailyn works with focus and determination on puzzles. Recognizing her persistence with the simple puzzles we had out in the classroom, the teachers brought in some more intricate puzzles. Kailyn immediately set to work on the Madeline puzzle, slowly working it. The first day, she worked with a group of children and a teacher to complete it. The next day she got it out on her own and worked the entire puzzle, staying focused for more than 20 minutes as she put it together.
Working puzzles develops problem-solving, fine motor control and hand-eye coordination as Kailyn manipulates the pieces to find the fit. Even more remarkable, however, is Kailyn's perstisence in this difficult task!
