You can use the puzzle in color or black and white versions. If you use the blackline template children can use crayons, markers, and colored pencils to decorate and colour their puzzle before working on number order.

After you print the puzzles that you want, cut the puzzle strips. We did not follow the traditional puzzle piece theme, because this makes it more simple and easier to focus on the numbers themselves, which is the point of the activity. 

If you choose to laminate, this would be the time to do so. I like to laminate activities such as this to help them last longer. Little hands can rip paper very easily, as I’m sure you know! Once they are laminated and cut apart, they can be set out to put together.

For children that are in the beginning stages of learning to recognize numbers and counting, I would put the puzzle pieces separated, but in order. This will help children learn to recognize the numbers without the pressure of having to put them in order as well.

To add a challenge, the pieces can be mixed around and even put upside down.
