Another way to have quality family time and help ward off Alzheimer's at the same time! Yes, you too can enjoy puzzle making with your family. An article from Ezine Articles addresses how one can "Create A Family Tradition" utilizing Jigsaw puzzles. The article also confirms that putting together puzzles utilizes both sides of the brain at the same time-a feat not often achieved by most activities. (Another activity utilizing both brain hemispheres is crawling.)A different article from USA Today talks about hobbies and how they can help slow Alzheimer's. Puzzles are mentioned in the article. One of my latest family hobbies has been completing puzzle on a little rickety card table with the kids.
These are a couple of the recent puzzles we've done. The Bakery Bear was missing two pieces which made it a bit more challenging.
But the Tiger puzzle had so many pieces that were similar in shading that we almost thought it would never be completed.
But here they are in completed glory and we just completed the outside frame for the next puzzle.
