As one can see, there are many instances in the schedule of our average end user that PuzzleIt games can be applied to. At daycare, PuzzleIt games can easily be inserted into the playground playtime. Even if a mere 15 minutes were allotted to using PuzzleIt, the child would be greatly benefited. Then in the home setting, PuzzleIt is a great addition to the the indoor play place, and a few rounds of the game can be played in between dinner and bath time and after bathtime and before bedtime.
