I found this at work the other day, while working with one of my autistic students. As of September, I'm a para educator at a local middle school. In this off-season of our homeschooling journey, working at a middle school is providing me a whole lotta great ideas, access to resources, and online tools I wouldn't have otherwise known existed.
I was impressed with
jigzone.com for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, it's fun. If you like puzzles, you must take a peak at this.
You get to choose your puzzle image, the number of pieces your puzzle will have, and even get to decide the cut of your puzzle pieces. My favorite shape is the bird! You can shuffle your pieces around, and if you give up, you may even chose to automatically complete the puzzle. Before your eyes, the pieces will move into place! If you find a favorite image, you may complete the same puzzle again and again, with different puzzle shape configurations.
This is a great way to teach hand eye coordination with your pc's mouse too. If you have children just learning how to click and drag, this will give them a great way to practice and with as few as 6 puzzle pieces per puzzle, the task won't be intimidating.
So... you can even add the puzzle to your blog! lol Here goes my attempt... hopefully you'll be able to complete the puzzle shown above using the embedded jigzone code below! Or perhaps, you will learn more about jigzone??? Not sure... let's see what happens!
Thank you for following The Homeschooling Blog!
