Here are two simple Easter puzzles that are both entertaining and educational, ideal for keeping children occupied indoors or during quiet time.

Trivia

One important thing puzzles can help with for younger children in particular is attention span. Puzzles require concentrated effort and focus, which can be challenging for kids who are still learning to control their impulses and stay on task. By working on puzzles regularly, children develop the patience and persistence they need to complete a puzzle or any other activity requiring sustained concentration.
