Puzzle Organization



My 5 year old adores puzzles.  They are so good for little brains!  The brain creates a chemical called dopamine when your little ones do puzzles.  This chemical is responsible for learning and memory!
The problem I have run into is missing pieces.  I have a solution that seems to be working out and I wanted to share it with you.


What I have done is taken the base of the puzzle and written a shape, letter, or number.  Then all the other pieces I wrote the matching symbol.  When she is done with the puzzle, the pieces go in a sandwich bag.
I found a basket at Dollar Tree that I keep all the bases and bags of pieces.  I would LOVE to know about your creative storage solutions.
