I have a little boy who adores puzzles. His sister likes puzzles, but he LOVES them. He would do puzzles all day if I let him. Unfortunately my budget cannot keep up with his appetite for puzzles--and we have a LOT of puzzles! Sooo, I decided to make him some puzzles and he loves them!!I took a bunch of food boxes, cut the fronts off and then cut those into pieces...voila! Instant puzzles!
These puzzles don't have a lot of pieces (although the Costco size box of Cheerios does have a bunch!) but they provide a challenge to him because the pieces don't "lock" together as nicely as store-bought puzzles.
At any rate, my children enjoy them and find it highly amusing to do the "waffle" puzzle and the "cracker" puzzle.

Hi! I'm here visiting from Allie's blog NTFFC. Just wanted to say that I have been doing this for a few months now and my 2 year old daughter LOVES them, too! I never throw away used food boxes anymore. ;) My daughter likes the Goldfish cracker box the best!
GREAT IDEA! I'm going to have to give this a try!
PS - I came from No Time For Flash Cards!
What a lovely idea! I have such a fanatic puzzler at home too, so this will come handy! You can use postcards too..
