Puzzles are a favorite activity around here right now so the other day we created our own.
All you need to make your own puzzle are:
craft sticks
markers
& tape
Figure out how long you want your puzzle to be, line your sticks up and tape them together. We made ours 7 sticks long.
Then flip your sticks over, bust out your markers and get to drawing your picture on.
With Scarlett being only 2, I like using washable markers and keep a wet paper towel handy to wipe up any messes when they happen.
Scarlett went with a circle theme on her puzzle and I added her name to the top and bottom so she can practice putting the letters in her name in order.
Once your picture is done, pull the tape off the back, scramble up the pieces and let them get to work putting them back together.
While Scarlett made her puzzle, I also made one of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland for her to put together, it was very fun to make.
When we were done playing, I bundled them up with rubber bands for another day.
