Puzzles from drawings
I asked TheSquirrel what should we draw and she quickly shouted "a great blue heron!" because we saw them canoing and they're always flying over our house. I was very impressed by her drawing, as she looked at a photo of a great blue heron. They have kinda wiggly long necks--hence the strange shape. Then I helped her notice each other feature.
I flipped it over to the other side and drew some lines for her to cut it up. (great cutting practice!)
And we have a puzzle out of her drawing! (It's pretty rough, would work better with higher contrast and thicker paper or more embellishing but this is all we had time for... go nuts with the idea itself!)
(And here is mine)
