DIY puzzles to work on fine motor skills

Have an old magazine around? Turn it into a learning game!

Full page photos, from ads or articles, work best, but really any photo can work – a page from the newspaper, something you print off, flyers that come in the mail.

Take a marker and draw a few lines across the page.

Help your child cut along the lines, then piece the photo back together.

This is a great activity to help children work on fine motor skills at any age. The older the child, the more lines and cuts you make!
