MAZE package

IMPORTANCE OF MAZES:

Enhance Cognitive Skills

Mazes improve the cognitive skills of children. They work like brain boosting exercises. While solving them, it makes them think, reason and remember. Simultaneously achieving all of these, sharpens their memory, builds their focus and increases the concentration level of their minds to a great extent.

Fine Tune Motor Skills

Mazes require the children to navigate the right path through the narrow passages without hitting their pencils or markers to the black lines which are the borders of the maze passages. They have to go slow with the strokes and not rush to complete the puzzle. So, it is their motor skills that are working to prevent them from bumping into the black lines. This controlled movement also helps them to produce readable handwriting later.

Strengthen Visual Skills

Before they begin to solve the maze, children do plan out their moves. Whether they realise it or not but they organically scan their eyes over the maze circuit to decide how to go about with the same. That expands their visual power and the ability to scrutinize complex settings and triumphantly come out of them.

Hand Eye Coordination

While concentrating meticulously with their minds and working with their little fingers to locate the track in the mazes without touching the black lines requires children to be very careful and precise. This is only possible when excellent hand and eye coordination is implemented by the child and it definitely gets finer with practice.

Find Effective Solutions

Children devise their own strategies to solve mazes. Whether they find their way from the start point or work backwards from the end point is up to their imagination. While at it, mazes are constructively helping them to be problem solvers since they are learning to deal with tricky situations.

Virtue of Patience

We have to agree that mazes are a tad complicated and children do take their time to solve them. While doing so, it teaches them the value of persistence that they got to stick around and not give up and that patience will yield good results and their genuine hard work put into something will never be futile.

Build Confidence

A child solving an easier maze or a difficult one, whatever the level may be, just the very fact that they were able to solve it gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment and it lifts their spirits to do more and better the next time.
