We need these puzzles because we find ourselves locked in the house, and once again we must work to make sure that our children feel the burden of this condition as little as possible.
After a year since the first lockdown, frankly, no one thought we would have to spend another spring locked up at home, and one of the groups most affected by these restrictions are children and their families. With schools and sports centers closed, and every other initiative suspended, the alternatives to entertain our children are reduced to home activities.
