Pieces on Earth


Total Time Needed:
1 Hour


Instead of throwing out those puzzles with missing pieces, let your kids turn what's left into a cast of holiday characters.

Materials

* Jigsaw puzzle pieces
* Acrylic paint
* Fine-point permanent markers
* Glue
* Dimensional fabric paint

* Pom-poms
* Mini googly eyes
* Monofilament
* Pinbacks

X

Instructions

1.

Paint the puzzle pieces with acrylic paint. Once they're dry, draw or glue on distinguishing features. We used dimensional fabric paint, pom-poms, mini googly eyes, and a fine-point permanent marker.
2.

Turn the creatures into tree ornaments by gluing loops of monofilament to the backs, or attach pinbacks so you can give a backpack or sweater a little holiday flair.
