I had some extra craft sticks, a.k.a. Popsicle sticks, left over from another craft so I thought I’d put them to some good use. So I grabbed a bottle of Mod Podge (but school glue would work too) and a photo.
Here is what you will need:
craft sticks
a photo (or a colored picture)
mod podge (school glue)
scissors
Carefully attach the photo of your choosing to the craft sticks (line them up all nice and neat). Glob on a good layer of glue or mod podge and let it dry over night.
After they are completely dry you can use a scissors or a blade to cut them apart.
Then let your child see if they can put the puzzle back together again. My 5 year old son loved this…the only correction he gave me (ha ha ha) was that he wanted a photo of himself rather than his brother and sister.

JUST what kind of project I was looking for! I went to Micheal’s earlier and bought their ‘grab bags’ for $2. Most of the items inside were calendars. This project helps me get rid of the 2 things i have tons of! CALENDARS and Popsicle sticks!
cute idea! My kids would love it!
