Making a Puzzle (National Puzzle Day)


On January 29th, you or your child can make a paper puzzle for National Puzzle Day. First, you or your child can use a puzzle template from the Template lab website. After you printed the template, you can add a sheet of xerox paper to trace the puzzle pieces. But, before you or your child traces the puzzle pieces, your child can draw something to personalize their puzzle. Second, your child can color their design with colored pencils. 

After everything is drawn and colored, your child uses a marker to trace the puzzle pieces. Third, your child cuts the puzzle pieces and puts the puzzle together. Also, you or your child can glue the paper puzzle pieces onto cardboard or construction paper. After it is glued, their puzzle can be framed in their room. Simply, trim off the edges and frame the puzzle.

Last, you can take a picture or scan their puzzle drawing before they cut the puzzle pieces. In this way, you can make a scrapbook page with the photos of their puzzle drawings. Additionally, you can make a scrapbook page using your child's favorite color and include a picture of them putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Making paper puzzles will help your child to use their imagination and create art. Here are more resources for National Puzzle Day.
