Spring Puzzles | Kindergarten Math and Literacy Mystery Picture Puzzles
I love using puzzles to teach concepts because of the fun and engaging manner which puzzles use. I have been using these puzzles to teach several concepts both in math and literacy. The main reason I love these puzzles are the fact that they are low-prep and easy-cut apart puzzles. The straight lines make it so much easier to prep the puzzles for your learners to put together.Â
These Spring puzzles are so much versatile, since they can be used to practice so many different concepts all within the same concept of putting together a puzzle. The puzzle reveals a hidden picture, which makes that the activity is self-checking. This makes this activity a fun independent activity for your learners since if they are unable to get the hidden picture, the puzzle has not been solved correctly.
The printable consists of two sets of puzzles:
- Math Mystery Puzzles
- Literacy Mystery Puzzles
All of the puzzles are spring-themed, so the hidden picture is a fun and cute spring themed picture! As the learner puts the puzzle pieces together based on their knowledge, they will slowly reveal the hidden picture!Â
Materials Required
- Printer
- Laminator
- Scissors
Prepping the Spring Picture Puzzles
All of the puzzles can be prepped in the same method. I love these puzzles because of the fact that they are so easy to prep. The straight lines make it so easy to cut apart and create the puzzles rather than trying to navigate those tricky round corners.Â
Simply choose which of the puzzles you’d like to use, and print out the puzzle mats and the pages with the matching puzzle pieces.Â
Laminate the pages of the puzzle mats for durability.
Laminate the pages of the puzzle pieces and cut apart to create the puzzle pieces.
You can store the puzzle pieces in a ziplock bag and keep the puzzle mat together with the ziplock bag in an envelope at a math or literacy center.

Since the puzzle includes both uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters, this allows for differentiation of this alphabet recognition activity.
For the beginning sound activities, the puzzle mat contains pictures of several objects. The learner will identify the beginning sound of each object, and pick up the puzzle piece which contains the letter of the beginning sound on it.
