Nobody knows kids' puzzling like Highlights! Hidden Pictures puzzles, entertaining kids for more than 70 years, are more than just seek-and-find activities. They're innovative, expertly crafted, and full of the humor and challenge kids love.
Promotes attention to detail and increases vocabulary
- As kids gain experience in looking for hidden objects, they become better at focusing on the details of other visual challenges.
-
Reading the picture clues helps children become visually familiar with the names of many objects.
Instills good work habits
