To make a picture puzzle: Choose an image and print it on thick paper. Next, draw grid lines on the back to create equally sized pieces. Using scissors or a paper cutter, carefully cut along the lines. For added durability, consider laminating the pieces. Mix the pieces and challenge yourself or others to reassemble the image. To make it easier, use fewer, larger pieces; for a challenge, opt for smaller ones.
