Answer 2

For the puzzle it also could help with memory and how fast your child could do the same puzzle again.

With the drawing activity, I think it also could help with creativity.

Answer 3

Puzzles stimulate thinking and problem solving as well as fine and gross motor skills depending on the size of the puzzle.  Changing puzzles gives children changing, but similar, experiences, so they learn than change is not necessarily bad and doing a series of slightly more difficult puzzles can help a child to lengthen its concentration span.  You can also reinforce basic learning eg: colours and numbers while you use the puzzles, they stimulate the imagination if you ask the child to tell you what is happening in the puzzle - this enhances their creative, reasoning and communication skills.  Listening to you give instructions, for example about straight edges, will encourage their listening skills, showing how a puzzle fits together will stimulate their mathematical skills, and as the puzzles are solved more and more easily, it will help their self-confidence.
