Being the Mom of little kids what you always think is about your little one's, their activities n interest. You always enjoy to make them learn, play and engaged in different innovative and creative activities. Well, I saw my DS was taking interest in jigsaws on ipad. he was really good that at the age of 2.2 years he was able to solve 20+ pieces puzzle (I was really impressed) but I was not sure how he is going to deal with real jigsaw pieces.
So, I started looking for 2/3 pieces jigsaw puzzle and bought few of them (2 to 10 pieces) but soon after 3-4 go, they were lying in the corner of my home THAT'S IT! this gave me the idea of making jigsaw puzzles.
I made him around 20 puzzles (1 -15 piece) and I used to alter the pieces further, if I feel he is not taking interest or getting bored.
things I Used:-
- Started with my B&W printer,
- Some cereal box cardboard,
- Some pamper cartons
- Craft knife
- Craft glue
And we are ready to go- My each puzzle is made of 2 A4 sheet (1 cereal cardboard n 1 pamper carton card board)

Print the design and stick it on carton and cut the outline. |
For this puzzle I chose every possible black and white prints which includes animals and vehicles. B&W because my Dear Son enjoy painting, so together we colored them.
