As you can see,the "gift certificate" was just printed on a blank puzzle.
(The elves found these puzzles leftover from my teaching days, but you can often find them really inexpensively in teacher's stores, craft stores, or HERE on Amazon
)
)
Then the pieces were separated and put in a plastic bag.
(Oops, somehow I missed grabbing a picture of this ~ but the bag just had a sticker on it that said "#1 SOLVE THIS" and then there was a little token gift that was wrapped with a sticker that read "#2 OPEN THIS")
The kids truly LOVED putting the puzzle together and trying to figure out the message as the words were gradually revealed.
Of course, they also loved the big candy bar that they unwrapped after solving the puzzle.
Sharing our puzzle at:
This is the _best_ idea ever! Also, this would be such a great "ongoing reward program". For example, instead of an allowance, choose something to do or give that you know your child would really enjoy. Make the puzzle. Then, hand out pieces for jobs well done, above and beyond good behavior and conquering challenges. He or she might be driven on by the anticipation of what the puzzle ends up making...
