- Painting prompt with painting fragment
- Black and white painting
- Coloring page
There are 3 different types of puzzles and a painting poster is included. Print and cut them up. These puzzles can be a great addition to your art activities, a study of the night sky, and if you are exploring the European continent with your students.
One of the art activities contains a printout with painting fragments to inspire children to complete the picture while they deep into their creativity.

After cutting up the puzzle pieces, set them up on a tray, and remember to include a poster with a painting as a reference for when they will be working to complete the puzzle.
You might like to mount the puzzle sheet onto thick cardboard prior to cutting it up to make it more convenient for little fingers to work on. Use a cutter to cut them up.
