Tweens and teens can benefit greatly from puzzle books as gifts, especially during the busy holiday season, or for a long, lazy summer. There are, of course, many puzzle books to choose from at all age levels, but there are many targeted at special interests, and older puzzle solvers, as in the example pictured above. Educationally, puzzle books can provide opportunity to refine vocabulary or math skills. There are extreme challenges available, whether in
dot to dot format, sudoku, kakuro, or in crosswords. For an ongoing supply, consider a subscription to your tween's favorite puzzles in magazine form, or to variety magazines.
If you have an artistic tween or teen, and need a great idea for a simple Christmas gift, these Dot to Dots are not your typical dot to dot puzzle activities. While the dot to dot is a great medium for young children in terms of learning number order, the series pictured above involves intricate dot to dot activities with dots numbering into the thousands, with amazing pictures. There is an entire series of these dot to dots for tweens
and teens, challenges, all receiving rave reviews.
