A New Use for Puzzle Pieces

If one too many pieces has gone missing from your child’s favorite puzzle, turn it into kitchen or playroom decor by gluing magnets to the back. It will make the refrigerator seem more fun, and you won’t feel bad about tossing all those pieces.

Or, if you have a wooden puzzle that is still intact, but that has become a bit too easy for your little one, glue magnets to the back and have them put it together on the fridge or on a magnetic board. Without the help of the outlines it should pose more of a challenge.
