Create Your Own Jigsaw Puzzles

by Sue

Why not keep the kids happy by making with them their own Jigsaw puzzles using nothing more than old magazines and some cardboard.

Find large pictures in magazine with your kids which they would like to make puzzles from.

Cut out and stick to cardboard with glue and let dry.

Cut into puzzle shapes. Fewer pieces for young kids.

Store in a plastic bag.

thank you for this great frugal activity idea for the kids.

jigsaw puzzles can be quite expensive to buy so this is great alternative and at a much cheaper price. plus the kids get to actually make the pieces too and choose the pictures they like.

I also use the colorful pictures on the front of the kids favorite cereals too. this is great as they do not need backing with cardboard to make them stiff.
