I immediately fell in love with this wonderful activity when I read about it on a post. Written by the extraordinarily talented Allie of No Time for Flashcards, I could not resist giving it a go.
Allie explains the process very well in her post. The only differences we implemented into our project was the book we used (Mr. Seahorse by Eric Carle), using Mod Podge to seal and strengthen the puzzle and using a thin piece of card board as a base instead of only the magnetic sheet. The cardboard worked well but next time I am going to try it without the cardboard. The pieces bent in certain areas and made it a bit more difficult to put together on the cookie sheet.
I am really looking forward to doing this activity with additional book covers. We have several piling up in our cabinet ready for action!
Thanks for visiting!
