A photo, a poster, a picture from a magazine, or a drawing
A thick piece of cardboard or foam board
Some glue
Scissors
A pencil
Steps
Choose picture
Choose a picture that you want to make into a puzzle, and then choose
a piece of cardboard or foam board that’s slightly bigger than your
picture.
The lid of a pizza box can make a perfect
puzzle board—as long as it’s not all cheesy and oily!
Glue
image
Glue your image to the board you’ve chosen and let it dry overnight.
Place a flat, heavy object on top—like
a book—so the picture dries nice and evenly.
Trim
board
Ask a grown-up to help you trim off any of the extra cardboard or foam
board that’s around your picture with the scissors.
Draw jigsaw shapes
Turn your picture over and draw jigsaw shapes on the back of the board.
Shapes with at least two semicircular parts,
facing either in or out, work best—small, complicated shapes
will be hard to put back together.
Cut
picture
Again with a grown-up helping you, cut the picture along the lines you’ve
just drawn.
Do puzzle
Now jumble up the pieces and see how long it takes you to do your handmade
puzzle—or challenge your friends to try it.
