3 Uses For an Old Puzzle

When a neighbor was cleaning out her kids' rooms to get ready for a garage sale, and I saw her chunking out this puzzle, I asked if I could have it. She told me I was welcome to it, but that there were pieces missing. No problem!

I was already getting ideas as to how to use the pieces in other ways. Here's 3 of them.

 Use popsicle sticks to create a frame. Glue the puzzle pieces along the edge to decorate.

Let your students come up with a creature/animal of their own design.

Finally, incorporate a handful of pieces as markers for board games.
