Gift Idea

My mom gave each grandchild this for Christmas:

You can buy the book and cat at Barnes and Nobel. What you won't get is the darling little cupcake attached to the cat. My mom made the cupcakes and sewed them on. Clever.

How To Organize Puzzles

Before Organizing:
Puzzle pieces were very difficult to find. My son usually made a huge mess by dumping the container over to find the right pieces. Most of the time he gave up.

How I Organized:
I took a black permanent marker and numbered all the puzzles. (on the back)

Then I labeled baggies with the same numbers. I also added the type of puzzle it is and how many pieces go to it.

After Organizing:
Now it's easy to play with the puzzles and pieces don't get lost.
P.S. We have a One Puzzle At A Time rule at our house.
