Life is stressful. This past year has been particularly stressful. We have had to navigate problems and decisions that we were never faced with before. Sometimes, we just need a break.
Have you heard of a brain break? You may have heard your kids use the word “brain break” before. It’s exactly what it sounds like it is. It’s a chance for your brain to rest from whatever it is you’ve been working on.
Brain breaks can take many forms. It could be a dance party. It could be a walk outside in the fresh air. It could be stopping to make a cup of coffee. It could be choosing to switch gears and use your brain to do something different than what you’ve been doing.
One brain break activity we love is solving brain teasers. These puzzles don’t necessarily allow our brain to rest, but they do allow our brain to switch gears from the problems of daily life.
A hidden picture puzzle is a great example of a brain teaser. These puzzles sound easy to solve, but they are almost always more challenging than we first imagined.
When it comes to hidden picture puzzles, Gergely Dudás, also known as the Dudolf, is a true master. He creates fun looking pictures of everything from snowflakes to animals, but there is always something hiding.
Ready to try your skills at solving a hidden picture puzzle? Try this one that features a whole bunch of tortoises. Somewhere in this picture, there is a snake. Really. Take a look below and see if you can find it.
The snake is super hard to find in this picture. In fact, this is one of the hardest hidden picture puzzles we have seen. Yet, the snake really is there. We promise.
If you have tried scanning the picture with no luck finding the snake, you might want to try a more methodical approach. For example, you could start in one corner and look closely at every single detail before moving across the picture to look at more details.
If you’ve been looking at this picture for awhile now without finding the snake, it might feel more like work for your brain than a much needed break. No fear. You can find the answer here if you’re ready to stop straining your brain.
