Here are a few reasons:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBigger Brains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePuzzles build kids' brains in ways few other toys do. Spatial skills are developed as babies work to manoeuvre a piece into the perfect spot. Cause and effect concepts are strengthened as little ones see what happens when their puzzles pieces don’t match a designated opening. Furthermore, babies are introduced to the concept of matching as they look for two objects that are exactly the same. Knob puzzles are one of the easiest ways I’ve watched my kids develop better reasoning skills, even as babies and toddlers. It’s as if I am seeing connections being made right before my eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eStronger Hands\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKnob puzzles are fantastic for building fine motor skills as well. The knobs themselves promote a grasp that uses the tips of baby's fingers (similar to a pincer grasp) and closely mirrors the grasp needed for writing. Therefore, babies and toddlers who use knob puzzles are building the hand muscles and coordination needed for writing. Puzzles are an important toy and the first step on a baby's journey towards writing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess Noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnob puzzles fit squarely in the category of noiseless toys, which means less headache for parents and lots of benefits for babies. Puzzles build a child’s imagination, so that little ones get to be in charge of what happens with their puzzle pieces. Perhaps a farm animal is going to hop off the board and start making barnyard noises or a whale is going to swim off his puzzle and around your living room. Fun happens when children are in charge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/7067\/4900\/collections\/ScreenShot2023-08-09at3.14.32pm.webp?v=1694702679","url":"https:\/\/theholisticplayroom.com\/collections\/knob-puzzle-collection.oembed","provider":"The Holistic Playroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
