My eldest loves puzzles, which suits me because I love them as well! They can be so calming and fun to do plus being a great educational tool for a whole manner of things (e.g. shapes, colours, 3D rotation, learning the subject of the puzzle itself). However there's a great way to turn it into a more artsy activity by, you guessed it, making your own! What to do: 1. Find some card, pencils/pens, scissors 2. Either print off a line drawing from the internet onto the card or draw your own (why not try doing some tracing) 3. Have a fun time colouring in! 4. Once finished cut the picture up into lots of random shapes and you have your puzzle* *Take a photo before cutting up so your little one has something to refer to later Top tip: You can print off a puzzle outline from the internet first before drawing your picture or use it to trace after your picture is complete Puzzles are also a great quiet time activity for children to sit and do on their own or a time for you to sit and spend time with them (and a good chance to chat about how they are or about interests they have)
