Tuesday Tips: Puzzle Storage
I’m excited to announce, Tuesday Tips. Each Tuesday, I will share a simple tip that our family has found to be helpful in parenting, homemaking, etc.

Our first solution for this problem was to simply tape up the boxes. That lasted for about 5 minutes.
So, we needed a new solution–and ziploc bags were perfect.

I cut the image from the puzzle box to include in the baggies. If it’s a big box, you could also work the puzzle and take a picture of it. These have worked great for us. My boys have a lot of puzzles, so we keep them in a Fabric Storage Bin like this one.
