A Few Ideas on What to Create with your Puzzle Clip Art Templates...

There are so many ways you can use your puzzle templates. You may already have something in mind. If not, here are a few ideas to help get you started…

  1. NUMBER SENSE PRACTICE PUZZLE-
Write a number on one side of the puzzle, then the correct number of items to match.
Little kiddos, and most of the rest of us big kiddos too, learn best through repetition.
For me, if I don't reread or repeat something I learn, later down the road when I encounter it again, sometimes it is as if I am learning something new for the first time again!
Sometimes it is inconsequential. But for number sense, which is a foundational skill in math, it is a skill that is beneficial to understand as quickly as possible.
If you are creating these for your own personal use, use stickers to count quantities. Kids love them. If you are planning to sell your puzzles, then clip art is king.
  1. SCIENCE ACTIVITY PUZZLE-
For these puzzles, draw or find clip art of different animals for one side of the puzzle. On the other side, draw or find a clip art of the home or habitat of that animal. For example, a bird and a nest.
Other examples include weather on one side of the puzzles, and clothing you would wear for that weather on the other. Or perhaps, seasons on one side of a puzzle and a changing tree on the other.
  1. COMPLETE THE PUZZLE ACTIVITY-
Leave one side of the puzzle blank for the learners to fill in themselves. This way they are making their own puzzle sets as their assignment. For example, write the color word “red” on one side, then have your kiddos draw something red for the other side. 
  1. READING PRACTICE PUZZLES-

Draw or find a clip art with a noun, for example, a tree. For the other side, write the word. This can also work with short sentences instead of nouns.

You are welcome to use my clip art as a design element in the resources you create. You are also allowed to sell these resources. See terms of use attached to the puzzle templates for more clarification.

Please do not share any of the images you see here on the internet, as many times the copyrighted clip art is ultimately stolen and that can hurt my small business:(
