🧩 Why Two-Piece Puzzles Matter in Early Development

Two-piece puzzles are an essential stepping stone between simple picture matching and complex jigsaw work. They teach children to observe details, recognize how pieces fit together, and complete images through deliberate hand movements. This lantern theme adds cultural enrichment and makes spatial learning feel purposeful and celebratory rather than abstract.

🏮 Red Lanterns in Chinese New Year Traditions

Red lanterns are iconic symbols of Lunar New Year celebrations, representing prosperity, happiness, and good fortune. Hanging throughout homes, streets, and public spaces, they light the way for the new year and ward off bad luck. By working with lantern images, children learn to recognize this important cultural symbol and understand its significance in one of the world's most widely celebrated holidays.
