We all love puzzles and figuring them out, don’t we? Here are great ideas for kids of all ages.

Let’s have some fun with different types of puzzles together.

Geometric Cardboard Construction

Who has some cardboard in their recycle bin?

And who has children who look for something new to play with?

I know we all do and this “new” toy not only costs nothing to make but, it will keep your kids entertained for a long time. Sounds great, right? Read more —> here

 

Cereal Box Puzzle

We finished our box of cereal and I went to throw out the box and remembered I have been wanting to reuse the Cheerio Box for something. Then the idea came to me, A PUZZLE!

News 12 Morning Show Face Mix-Up

Did you ever wonder what Elizabeth, Carol, Rich and Elisa would look like with all their facial features all mixed up together?

I took their beautiful headshots from News 12 Long Island and cut their faces up with a scissor. I separated the top of the head, eyes, nose and mouth (including the top of their body).

Then time to Mix-  It Up:

I cut some of the pieces and left others whole to then glue together to make a “new” news anchor.

Elizabeth thought this was hysterical and I can’t wait to see the other anchors reaction to this.

I did this craft idea with the News 12 Morning show family but you can do it with your

family and/ or friends.

Tune into News 12 Long Island for Winter Fun Ideas on Thursday, February 18th, 2016. Starting at 5am during the morning show with Elizabeth Hashagen.
