Popsicle Stick Puzzles Tutorial

My friend pinned this on Pinterest the other day:
And I thought, hey that would make a super cute toddler activity! And, how fun would it be to make some seasonal themed puzzles! I decided to make a set to send to my little niece since my kids are a little too old for these. Although, my eight year old had a blast helping me with these today! Here's what we did:

First we printed off some cute Fall pictures--just regular 4x6 prints from Walmart. I like to put my pictures on photo paper whenever I am going to glue them to something. Photo paper won't wrinkle or tear when you're working with it, and the quality of the finished product is just better!

Then, we cut the pictures into sections just a tiny bit smaller than the width of a big craft popsicle stick. 


Next, we Mod Podged the strips to the craft sticks.
And that's pretty much it! Here's a look at a few of the puzzles we made...


We just put each puzzle in it's own ziplock sandwich bag, and put them in a box. I think this weekend I will sew her a cute little Halloween purse to carry these around in. Such a cute and easy little project!
All of these adorable pictures come from Just So Scrappy which you can find HERE!
Have a great weekend!
