Turn that beat-up book into a brand new activity!
Got a few (dozen) worn out children's books that are too dilapidated to donate? How 'bout turning one into a brand new activity-namely a jigsaw puzzle? Here's how:
What you'll need:
-A children's book with at least one good page (big board books work best.)
-A utility knife
-About a minute's worth of time
Flip the kid's book to a colorful, whimsical page. Rip it out-if your child hasn't already accomplished that task for you. Cut the page into angled pieces. Of course large peices work best for younger children. For older children you can go smaller to make the puzzle more challenging.
Congratulations. You've just invented a brand new activity to stimulate your little one's mind and provide oodles of fun.
**If you don't have a board book, you can use paper pages by glueing them to the back of thin cardboard.
