Make Your Own Puzzles

As soon as I came across puzzles made from popsicle sticks on Pinterest I knew Connor and I had to make them!
I had a few of my favorite pictures printed.   Then I cut them into strips the same width as the popsicle sticks.  I glued the strips to each popsicle stick and once the glue dried, we had a blast putting the sticks together to reform the pictures.
Then since he loved them so much I decided we could make puzzles with coloring sheets.

I printed a free Power Ranger coloring sheet.  (Since he thinks he's a Power Ranger)
Once he finished coloring it, I trimmed it so it would fit over the popsicle sticks. I cut it and glued it onto the popsicle sticks.

Super easy and so much fun!

I can't wait to make more!!
