My Own Puzzle III
Parent and child create a custom puzzle from a cereal box, then solve it together. The agent coaches the parent to observe problem-solving strategies, spatial reasoning, and perspective-taking as the child manipulates puzzle pieces — building cognitive flexibility and fine motor skills through hands-on creation.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Empty cereal box, child-safe scissors, markers. Workspace at child-sized table or on floor with good lighting. Parent and child seated together.
