Summertime brings a break from school, but not from learning! Exercising your brain is just as important for good health as swimming, hiking or running in the summer sun. You won’t be lifting weights or doing jumping jacks to build your brain power, but you will be doing mental exercises through problem solving and critical thinking—and Kid Scoop puzzles are a great way to get started. Solving puzzles builds mental dexterity and develops perseverance, determination and a growth mindset. You can take Kid Scoop puzzles anywhere the summer takes you—on camping trips, by the pool, to the shore or visiting a park. All you need is your brain, a pencil, a little sunscreen … and you’re off! On your mark, get set, GO!
