Yesterday Ardon found a couple pieces to a puzzle we don't have anymore. He was somewhat distraught that there were not enough pieces to complete the picture so I suggested we make our own puzzle.
.
First we found an old birthday card with a cool picture on the front and cut off the flap.
.
Next we cut a piece of cardboard to glue our picture to so it would be thicker.
.
After it dried we drew puzzle shapes on the back and cut them apart.
.
Then we put our puzzle back together!
.
He seemed satisfied with the results. It was a fun, simple craft and a good way to use up old birthday cards!
