How To Create A Puzzle-Board?

 

A puzzle board is made of wood, plastic or even steel with a number of holes cut in it. These holes help children learn how to match shapes and colors by putting the pieces into the holes in a particular order. The jigsaw puzzle table is also helpful in spatial thinking, hand-eye coordination, as well as color recognition.

 

How do you make a puzzle board

There are lots of various ways to build the puzzle board. They can be created easy and don't require a lot of equipment. Of course, you can build a board using no kids in mind or even a clue!

 

Drill and make holes

 

The drill is used to create holes in the board of your puzzle using a hole cutter that is available at most hardware stores. Select the right size to fit the amount of pieces you will be playing on the game. I recommend beginning with 8-9 holes, four rows of three per row. If your kids grow out of their set then you can increase the number of holes! To ensure that your shapes match, you'll need many sizes!

 

Forms that can be cut and drilled

 

The next step is to cut every shape. The pieces should be roughly similar in size to the puzzle board. This prevents the pieces from moving due to differences in sizes. It also helps reduce frustration for children who are frustrated by fighting over the same shape. The pieces don't need to be perfectly matched across rows (if using different colors) and they can also vary in height from piece to piece.

 

Connect the shapes to the board.

 

The glue used to make the jigsaw puzzle boards is a specific glue. But, it isn't required to be harmful to pets or children. Spray paint would be an unwise option. ) There are a myriad of glues found in hardware stores! Apply several coats of glue per piece until all shapes lay flat in every hole. If you are applying glue safe for kids, be sure to let dry completely before moving on.

 

Attach the Jigs

 

This is a great opportunity to find out who is the most popular tool. Attach the jig parts to their puzzle boards with storage. Use a strong adhesive so that it does not get too heavy. You want your shapes large and bold, but not too tiny. There are four kinds of jigs you will need including fence, motor, sound block, and a battery-operated sinewave generator. The fence jigs have pieces that are coated a pressure sensitive adhesive on the other side. They automatically hold shapes in place when they move. This means that it is not necessary to press them onto the top of the earlier shape. They'll stay exactly where they are!

 

Complete It

 

After letting it dry, your robot jig is all set to be put together! After gluing each piece, glue them together. Next, plug in the source of power (battery), and attach the soundblock to the motor. Make sure each piece isn't leaking wires showing through as this can cause issues later as you go along. You would like all moving parts to function just perfectly before putting them to use!
