You can use this simple parts of the face puzzle to introduce or reinforce parts of the face vocabulary and/or to keep little hands busy while traveling.
Materials:
2 identical pictures of your child (face shots)
velcro
- Take a picture of your child’s face (5×7 or 8×10) and laminate it on poster board, a file folder, or something sturdy.
- Laminate the second (identical) picture and cut out the facial features that you want to use for your puzzle (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc.).
- Attach velcro to the face pieces and the corresponding parts of the puzzle.
- Ask questions such as “Where are _____’s ears?”, “Do you see _____’s eyes?”, etc.**Other variations of this activity include using a picture of your child’s favorite character or adding more pieces by including other body parts.This is a great activity to add to your Busy Bags!~Parts of the Face Songs to go along with your puzzle!

I did a similar interview with my girls when they were younger and the responses were so cute! It is such a great way to learn about them, but also to see their funny responses.
The baby finally came! You can take a peek at the handsome guy over at my blog. Your special day will be here soon as well. Very exciting. Take Care!
