1. Type of activity :

Start and finish a 1000pcs jigsaw puzzle

2. Why did you choose that particular activity :

3. The importance of jigsaw puzzle :

1 ) Jigsaw puzzle helps you exercise both right and left part of the brain.

‘ Left-brain thinks logically and follows sequence while the right brain is creative, intuitive and emotional. When you try to put together a jigsaw puzzle, you harness both the brainpowers ’ .
