How to Make a Puzzle From a Picture

Looking for something new for your little one to do? Try making your own puzzles that they can use again and again. They can be made from large photos, magazine pictures or even pictures your child draws. Then, instead of piling up, once the puzzles get old, they can be disposed of easily.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Picture or drawing
• Pencil
• Glue
• Scissors
• Cardboard

1. Choose a large picture, at least the size of an 8½-by-11 inch piece of paper that has a distinct size and design that contain many colors or shapes.

2. Glue this picture onto cardboard or posterboard.

3. When it dries, draw a puzzle design lightly onto the picture with a pencil. Make sure all your puzzle pieces do not have the exact same shape. Make sure they are big enough for a small child to grasp.

4. Cut the pieces apart and try out your new puzzle.
