Triazzle Puzzle
I printed this puzzle on cover stock, but I found I still needed to glue it to heavier cardboard. Since I had already laminated it, I used spray adhesive. I used a box cutter to cut the puzzle out along the lines. If you want students to do this activity, you will need to stick with the lighter weight cardboard that will cut with scissors. Tip Keep a Picture of the Puzzle before it is cut up!

You print your picture directly to the puzzle that goes through your ink jet printer, then you take the puzzle apart. I didn’t have any trouble with the media and the printer, but the media that is costly.
Jigsaw Puzzle (die-cut machine)
The school’s die cut that I used was the small 4 x 6 one, but for campuses that have the 9x12 die cut, there is a large puzzle die cut available.

Jigsaw Puzzle (Make Your Own)
I spent way too much time trying to get this to work. I printed my scanned picture then I made a hand drawing of my puzzle pieces. I copied that drawing to a transparency then I ran my picture through the copier and printed the transparency puzzle pieces on the back. I laminated the picture and the cut out all the pieces. I realized I could have left out the transparency step, but the original plan was to run that page on the top of the picture, but that didn’t work. It is cheaper that using the pre-cut puzzles.
