Puzzle Board

Junior loves to do puzzles. No, he can't do them alone and it has to be hand over hand but he has always enjoyed doing all kinds of puzzles.
We have been doing them while he is on his tummy but wanted a way for him to do them while in his chair or stander. He also needs them up in front of him so he can see what he is doing.

A piece of flannel, foam board, and some velcro did the trick.
We covered the foam board with the flannel. It needs to be pulled very tight, I used velcro to attach it but plan to redo it using a hot glue gun so it is a tighter fit.

For the puzzle pieces the ultra thin velcro works best. Place a very small piece of velcro on the back of each piece(the smallest possible piece that will still hold it on the board).
