As a nation, we're each doing our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 [1] by staying indoors as much as possible, which, as parents know and are learning more and more each passing day, is not always easy with young kids. There are tons of educational shows and free learning websites [2] available to keep kids mentally stimulated while they're off from school [3] and stuck in the house, but another indoor activity we're turning to with our own little ones [4] is puzzles.
Whether it's a jigsaw that teaches about the human body once it's put together, a puzzle game that requires critical thinking, or just a fun movie-themed puzzle that still requires mental thought but is rooted in pure fun, these are all great options for kids. While Amazon is still delivering packages to us all (thank you, Amazon!), check out these puzzles that you can order now to keep your kids busy [5] in the days and weeks to come.
