I believe that there are three reasons that Boo makes connections with the children. First, after being locked up for so long, he sees them perhaps as friends. Also, he probably sees his childhood self in him and he grows affectionate for them and he wants them to be happy. The last reason is that he probably knows that they are scared of him and he wants them to connect the puzzle pieces that he is not a bad person, just a person that bad things have happened to. Boo does his best to make connections when he leaves presents in the tree (such as the two dolls) until the hole got filled with cement. Also, when he puts a blanket around Scout's shoulders while she watches Miss Maudie's house burn. Boo Radley has the very best intentions at heart when he tries to reach out to the kids.
