Learning occurs with every human activity. It is especially effective when the activity is purposeful and focused while at the same time exciting and pleasurable. Solving hidden pictures puzzles is just this kind of activity. Besides being enjoyable, it develops figure-ground perception and improves the ability to establish object constancy and size relationships. Educators have shown that working on such puzzles can also enhance a child’s attention to detail, reinforce good work habits, increase both word and general knowledge and aid in developing self-confidence. With guidance, this potential can be realized. At the start of the activity, the child could be told to look at the big picture and describe the scene as a whole—that is, say what the picture shows or is about. Then he/she could be encouraged to talk about the details. Finally, the child’s attention could be drawn to the things illustrated in the margins and he/she asked to identify them in the big picture. With time and practice, the child could become quite expert at solving the puzzles and would have kept him/herself entertained while he/she was at it!Can you find these things in the big picture? dog lead i é n 2 3 § a ia G g g BisCOS RUT SUC ee Settling down to read bo hun apne WIS SS > aan PPK Ws ZB mK Gy PEPE i LPL DIE ( aSetting the imagination free UOT ART SCT Tle (ase eae ae fried egg pliers flower envelope artist's brush lollipop © #4 button on slice of watermelon JD 1G ~~ ADS > EB = = be A) \ es f Wed © K crescent : RN N kiteExploring the deep CENTER UTES UO nies inesClimbing a mountain CEO TSR UTS V = Santa's hat ioe tube of toothpaste = iv b ae safety pit ice-cream cone handbell a =) T= v1 Be AS NE ti whey iy a7 @ | bx SYTaking to the skies POC ER UT ESC Tt AN dress yy SN) ‘ tans = > Los Vie mushroom ? saili at lollipop Sa poe 5 KA Ee BS Sy ei.

Each seek-and-find activity can be done individually as a pastime, or played as a game with a partner or a ‘rival’ group. But more than that, solving the puzzles develops figure-ground perception and improves the ability to establish object constancy and size relationships. In fact, educators have shown that working on such puzzles can enhance a child's attention to detail, * reinforce good work habits, * increase both word and general knowledge and * aid in developing self-confidence.
