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.
