Printing and Preparing the Jigsaw Puzzle
From our experience there is a bit of preparation needed. Only cutting out the puzzle peaces on a paper does not serve the haptic experience of a good puzzle for your child.
We recommend using a cardboard in the same size as the paper you printed the puzzle on. In the second step use a spray adhesive from your craft store. Spray a thin layer on the card and the paper. Put the cardboard and the paper together. Press the paper to the cardboard as evenly as possible. Let it dry for a while. When the sheet is dry, you can start to cut the puzzle peaces.
With these step’s your child gets a perfect experience in trying and solving the next DIY Jigsaw Puzzle.
