The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

  • Puzzle pieces
  • Paint (skin tone colors +)
  • Markers (optional)

Instructions:
Paint the puzzle pieces with a skin tone color of your choice; let dry. Paint or draw faces on them and apply magnets to back.

For older children/adults - try painting clothes, shoes, etc, onto the puzzle people and you can also glue on yarn for hair.
