Our printable jigsaws are quick and fun to make, easy to keep in a ziploc bag, and useful to have around for odd moments.
Instructions:
- Print the jigsaw onto printer card
- Cut carefully around the large and small pictures
- Print an appropriate jigsaw cutting guide onto paper. Pick from rectangular or square according to the jigsaw, and choose an appropriate number of pieces for your child.
- Cut out the whole rectangle or square - don't cut out the pieces yet.
- Place the guide over the jigsaw, matching the shapes up carefully.
- Cut the jigsaw pieces through both layers.
- Discard the paper pieces.
- Store the jigsaw in a box or bag and stick or staple on the small image to help your child recognise and complete the puzzle.
- Alternatively, ignore the above and just cut the jigsaw up into a many pieces as your child can cope with.
