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!RET SR Te ease Taking a napWild by nature Can you find these things in the big picture?Playing in the wild CO Ue SeAt home in a city park (ROE Ro kore aa ee 0 YY Ws I J| fork cS » toothbrush boot chicken €=9 4 fish A => cane needle f \ pencil _| baseball cap AY tweezers candleGathering on a tree pencil candy cane gingerbread man ry 4) One sailing boat V tortoise REL: | 12 | onl carrot tiger's head fish handbagFeeding in a field CINTM RE Ru mk en aeshamster —=——_——sT artist's brush bear cub’s headThe first to hatch Can you find these things in the big picture’Following Mum downriver CEU OUR OTS UT OUCH eeeAt home in the rainforest POE SAR U SCUCS C sp cap ss Grescent moon sailing boat 8 TEX SN ee jot ISS Aid PE (SS \\ > =, dy candleAt home in a stream (ETT ek Pos inrs ae Oe ol , Ho Ls ‘\ hie. / ae | _ =< pus) VAIS / SRS and thread 4 > = fh ‘by fp Re Ea candle a SA & O — 2 -— ( baseball Yas 4 hs bagel &y cap Wee bowling By crown slice of pizza os fig AmericanSharing the same habitat skipping-rope ww earthworm M banana paw SST y flay S_ broom seal saucepan boot toothbrush yo-yo & slice of pie er aeroplaneGathering by the feeder COT UTR UTS Ua a TD) Latte IN Jf AEl G2Ng) = NSE | umbrella ee ey 2 N w ‘> ie ~ Ee) QSniffing out treats Can you find these things in the big picture?
