Puzzle Surprise

Here is how you do it:

1. Print out a paper with your surprise message.


2. Peel off the back of the sticky foam board and press your paper on to the adhesive. It is really sticky, so make sure to get it in place on your first try. Once the puzzle design is firmly placed on your foam paper, turn it over.


3. Place the puzzle template over the foam. Use a ballpoint pen to trace the puzzle onto the foam. It will leave an indent. Once your foam is indented, you can trace over the lines with your ballpoint pen so you can see the puzzle piece outlines more easily.


4. Cut out each puzzle shape.

You can also be creative with how you present the puzzle pieces to your kids. You might want to place the puzzle pieces in individual boxes for them to unwrap, or put the pieces in their stockings. Try hiding them on the Christmas tree. You could scatter the puzzle pieces around the house and provide clues on where to find them.
