How to Use Preschool Puzzles

Preschool puzzles can be used for morning work, learning centers, small-group activities, independent practice, or short skill review sessions. Teachers can select puzzles based on the skill being practiced and the difficulty level.

Cut-and-paste puzzles can be used during fine motor practice, while matching and visual puzzles work well for independent activities or learning centers. Theme-based puzzles can also be added to seasonal or preschool theme units.
