How to do it

  1. 1

    Cut two cardboard circles of the same size.

  2. 2

    Paint or paste an Earth illustration onto one circle, then cut that circle into puzzle pieces.

  3. 3

    On the second circle, draw matching lines as a guide for younger kids.

  4. 4

    Have the kid assemble the Earth puzzle on top of the base.

Tips & extensions

Thicker cardboard holds up better. Skip the guide circle for older kids who want a real challenge.
