This DIY puzzle idea is a great way for you to let your group know that each of them individually is unique, and that they can all come together to form one big unit or team.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this craft activity as a part of your lesson plan for bully prevention, or as a tool for developing social emotional learning skills. Spread awareness about bullying, and promote kindness and friendship.\u00a0This puzzle is very simple to make, but reflects a big message!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 125%; text-align: center;\">DIY &#8220;Everyone Fits In Here&#8221; Puzzle<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/blank-puzzlers-piece-CO43\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Color-Me\u2122 Blank Puzzles<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/color-splash-broad-line-markers-SC884\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Markers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/assorted-black-wiggly-eyes-TR275\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Wiggly eyes<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/neon-poster-board-PE669\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Poster board<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/budget-craft-sticks-CS425\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Craft sticks<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/aleenes-tacky-glue-GL422C\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glue<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/duck-tape-yards-AS658\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Duct tape<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Everyone-Fits-in-Here-Puzzle-41.jpg\" alt=\"Everyone Fits in Here Puzzle\" width=\"900\" height=\"711\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each of our blank puzzles come with 12 pieces. Use markers to color in the pieces. Then glue on different sized wiggly eyes and add silly faces!\u00a0You may choose to have each person in your group design one puzzle piece. If you are working with a large group, you can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/color-me-imagination-puzzle-PE1246\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">larger puzzle<\/a>, or have them break into smaller groups so each child has a puzzle piece to design.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the puzzle together, you can use duct tape on the back as we did, or glue it to the cardboard piece that comes with each puzzle to make it even more sturdy. We also added a &#8220;sign&#8221; at the top with poster board. You can use any heavy card stock for this, we just liked the neon colors in our poster pack! Write the message you want to portray in permanent marker. Then duct tape two craft sticks to the back of the puzzle and to the poster board. You can also add some string or jute at the top to hang it up!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 125%; text-align: center;\">Get Inspired By Others<\/h2>\n<p>Teachers have also used this concept to inspire their own projects, like a Welcome Bulletin Board to create a sense of community in the classrom, or a No Bully Zone poster to raise awareness One crafter even used construction colorful construction paper and glitter to recreate the image. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/492649936882782\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out the pin on Pinterest!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love this idea, it so creative and fun!
