And we have tried to affect the three subfields of children's cognitive processes, namely visual-spatial intelligence, executive functions and visual memory, which are gradually formed in childhood, through these two intervention methods.
Aim: The aim of this research was to compare the effects of 3D puzzles and
painting on visual-spatial intelligence, visual memory and executive functions of preschool children.

this chiose was the condition corona virous. Research method was, semi- experimental.
Conclusions: At the end of the research, we concluded that, 3D puzzles and painting can improve executive functions and visual memory of children but, they can not improve visual-spatial intelligence in 17 sessions.
