Abstract in brief

Early puzzle play in children aged 2 to 4 years is linked to better performance on spatial transformation tasks at age 4.

The quality of puzzle play, including puzzle difficulty and parental engagement, was higher for boys than girls, and it predicted spatial skills in girls but not in boys.
