Let’s face it… the Dollar Store is my crafting inspiration, especially when it comes to crafts and projects for kids. I go in there to get ideas! I’m sure I’m not the only one. The other day I was picking something up there, when I saw Christmas placemats 2 for $1 and somehow I thought “puzzles”. So I bought some and that’s just what we did, we made Christmas Placemat Puzzles!

Really not much to it – just cut out the puzzle as you like, depending on the age of your child. My child is 3, so I cut 9 pieces using my regular old scissors. He was able to do most of it on his own. Older children could make their own puzzle from a placemat. I plan to keep this in the diaper bag for when I need a quite activity. I think we’ll make one or two for every holiday!
