{We were given the Spielgaben set to review and are honored to have them as a blog sponsor.}
We had some leftover Christmas cards and I remembered how much Ladybug loved the puzzles we created awhile back so I decided to make her a more difficult version using the colored shapes in our Spielgaben kit instead of just cubes!
First, I grabbed a handful of all one color and laid out a pattern on the picture I had.
I then used my Open It! {the little utility knife part of it} to cut each shape.
Some clear tape and done!
She immediately remembered our puzzles when I showed her and loved that this one was a photo!
All done!
I think we might be making more of these, it was fun and simple! Have a younger child, use the cubes. Have an older child? Challenge your child to create their own pattern with the blocks! Use old photos that you have duplicates of!
See more fun we have had with Spielgaben!
