Here's a fun, easy craft for your little one. It helps develop fine motor, memory, matching and problem solving skills. You can use any picture, drawing, etc you want!
Supplies:- Wide popsicle sticks- you'll want to lay them out on your photo to figure out how many you need.
- Modge Podge and brush
- Picture
- Exacto knife or scissors
Directions:
1. Pick your picture. For this one I used a 4" x 5" blank card.
2. Lay your sticks on the card to determine how many you'll need. For a 4" x 5" picture you'll need 5 sticks glued vertically.
3. Use a stick as a straight edge to cut picture with an exacto knife. Or mark on back and cut with scissors.
4. Brush on Modge Podge and stick your strips to sticks.
5. Show the puzzle all together to your toddler, then mix up the pieces for them to do it.
I've found that more graphic pictures work for my almost 3 year old. He really likes the ones I make out of photos of us too! You can orient them horizontally or vertically. Here are other ones we've made...
This one is from a High Five magazine ad.
Here's one showing color combinations and shapes. This is a good graphic example.
Here's an example of a photo one.
Happy Crafting!
