Popsicle Stick Puzzles

Rowin is kind of in between puzzles right now. The big block ones are too easy for him but he can't do a 24-piece puzzle by himself yet. These simplified puzzles are the perfect fit for him right now!

For these puzzles, you can use a 4X6 photo or any small picture from a magazine or book. I took one large popsicle stick and traced lines on the backs of the pictures. Then I cut out the strips and Mod Podged them on to the popsicle sticks. Let them dry completely as they stay sticky for a little while. Here are a couple that we made.

We store them in separate snack bags so the pieces don't all get mixed together.

If you don't have Mod Podge or popsicle sticks, you could always just cut up a photo or picture and have your child put the pieces back together. It may not hold up as well but would certainly work!

Another option, if you would rather not do ANY cutting or gluing is to buy a deck of "Go Together" cards. Rowin really likes Winnie the Pooh, so I found these at the Dollar Store! Exact same idea. No prep required. One dollar. Can't beat that.
