This is a fun activity sheet! Since it is an art and logic puzzle rather than a math problem, here is how you can complete the steps listed on the page:
Step 1: Color the Picture!
Before you cut anything, use your crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color the dinosaur. You can make it green, blue, purple, or any color you like! Don't forget to color the background if you want to.
Step 2: Cut out puzzle!
Once your coloring is dry, take a pair of safety scissors. Carefully cut along the
dashed lines (the dotted lines) that divide the picture into squares. You should end up with several separate square pieces.
Step 3: Mix up pieces, and solve!
Turn the pieces over so the picture is hidden, or just shuffle them around on the table. Then, try to put them back in the correct order to make the whole dinosaur picture again. Look at the lines and colors to help you match the edges!
Final Answer:
Follow the instructions on the page:
Color the dinosaur first,
cut along the dotted lines to make puzzle pieces, and then
mix and solve the puzzle by putting the pieces back together.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable puzzles to colour.
