Christmas Photo Puzzles!

Help your homeschoolers make a fun and easy Christmas present that would be great for anyone on your list! Take a regular family picture and turn it into a fun puzzle. .

What you'll need:
Large Family Picture
Glue
Scissors
A Piece of Cardboard

Let your homeschoolers choose a couple of pictures they would like to make puzzles out of. Trace the shape onto a piece of cardboard. Using the lines you just drew, cut the cardboard to be the exact size of your picture. Use your glue stick to glue the picture to some thick cardboard. Let the glue dry for about five to ten minutes.

When it's dry, use the scissors to cut your picture into puzzle pieces. The older your kids are - the more pieces you should cut the picture into. Once they're cut out - they're ready to go!

It's really fun to give these out because you and the kids get to watch their faces as they slowly get to see what the picture is!
