What you need:
scissors
cardboard
glue
construction paper or paint
pencil
ruler
tape
How to make it:
1. Cut three 5-inch-by-7-inch rectangles from cardboard.
Glue construction paper to the front and back of two
of them or paint them.
2. Draw a frame on the third rectangle by measuring a
half-inch in from the edges. Cut out the frame.
(It might be easier to cut off each edge of the frame
separately so that it is cut into four strips).
3. Glue construction paper to the frame or paint it, then let
let it dry. Glue the frame to one of the other rectangles.
4. Tape the edge of the first rectangle to the one with the
glued-on frame so that they open like a book
(with the frame in the middle). This will be your puzzle box.
5. To make the puzzle, draw a simple design on the piece
of cardboard from which the frame was cut. Cut out the
pieces, and color or paint them. Arrange them in the box.

I loved my Highlights Magazine when I was child. The stories and games were wonderful but each month, I looked at the Arts & Crafts first. The ideas were always easy enough for
me to make with very little help from mom.
I believe receiving Highlights Magazine as a child, is one of
the reasons I love to create today!
Both of my children received subscriptions and were equally delighted when their magazine came in the mail each month!
