Each child drew or traced a picture onto their cardboard. Then they glued puzzle pieces inside the shape until they were satisfied with the end result. C and R both glued on two layers of puzzle pieces for a more dramatic effect. I helped R, but C did his by himself; R tends to get bored with crafts that take more than a few minutes. When they were done, they made two holes at the top and threaded some yarn to make a hanger.
C made a shark and R made a butterfly. We love to use puzzle pieces for crafts, and I think this is something fun for children of all ages.

I love R's butterfly! Too cool. That's a pretty impressive library craft. Last one we did at our library was a paper bag puppet. :)
LOVE it, they did a great job! wish that was our libraries theme.
I have been meaning to do that and haven't i need to i know they would love it.
totally cute!
That's a neat idea. Would be a great way to use all those stray puzzle pieces.
This is so cool! I love how the crafts turned out. Did they just use school glue? For some reason a lot of crafts involving glue tends to fall apart so quickly in our house, and then Anna is frustrated.
@Raising a Happy Child: They used Elmer's glue - a LOT OF IT! The puzzle pieces are sticking really well - they hung them on the wall in their bedrooms and none of the pieces have fallen off.
They turned out really nice! I knew I was saving all those incomplete puzzles for something :)
I love this idea, and they turned out so well. I love crafts that reuse items, and we have a ton of orphan puzzle pieces!!
