With this organizing hack, not only is your preschooler using puzzles, but they are also practicing concepts such as matching and sorting.
When your preschooler is ready to play with the puzzle, they must ask themselves which one is the correct container based on the puzzle image.
Now, puzzle pieces have a place, and your toddler and preschooler can put everything back independently!

Awesome tip!!
Thanks, Molly!
Love this tip Beth!
Thank you, Megan!!! 🙂
I have tons of these puzzles before. I used paper organizer trays. I can load 2 sets of puzzles per tray. And the trays being stackable saves me space and energy in organizing.
That is such a great idea! I love that the trays are stackable.
