...puzzle pieces?

Tried to do a puzzle with my daughter tonight, but it is missing tons of pieces. Same with the second puzzle. I hate to throw anything away and know that there must be something fun to do with them. Any ideas?

PS Anyone want some? LOL

I would paint them and use them on LO's.....or cards. Or you could make a frame....


Can't think of anything else....I'm wiped out.

painting and inking them gives you so many possiblities. or cover them in PP even. the wreath is very cute as well!

i know some of the preschools and kindergartens around here use them to make frames or wreaths or ornaments at christmas. if you were wanting to get rid of them you could donate them to preschools near you. just a thought.

I think they would make a really fun baby mobile...painted in bright, non-toxic colors.

they are also cute as accents on the fronts of cards-
you could use the lighter ones with phrases like
"you complete me"
or if you had big-ish ones, you could decoupage a baby photo over a puzzle piece, put that on a card-front and make a baby announcement that says "and now our family is complete".....

and yes, totally, area day cares and preschools will probably LOVE receiving them- they're great in kids' projects- you can make them into leaves, snowflakes, just about anything....

also anything to do with autism
their "logo" is a puzzle piece

i'd just think of them as super cool shaped chipboard and do with/to them the same things you'd do with/to chipboard

i've also seen cards that are the puzzle pieces themselves - you put them together, alter/decorate them as a whole then pull them apart and put in an envelope for the recipient to reassemble

Great ideas! I'll bet my kids' school would like some for art too. See, I knew I didn't have to toss them!
