A Lesson on Puzzle Transporting

Don't you hate it when you get a puzzle for your birthday or Christmas, and you start it, then your dad say's, "Time to go!"? And now you have to wreck it all because you can't transport it?! Well those days are now over! Based off of a newly approve way here is how you can save the puzzle!

Materials:
  1. A large enough piece of paper to fit underneath your puzzle
  2. A box big enough to fit your puzzle
  3. Tape
  4. Teamwork
  5. Patience
  6. Cardboard cutter (scissors, razor, etc.)
Instructions:
  1. First you get that large piece of paper and aline it with your puzzle, then slowly slide the piece of paper underneath your puzzle. A few or many times you puzzle may get stuck on the puzzle so be careful. You will need a partener for this part, along with patience.
  2. Once you have successfully transferred the puzzle onto the piece of paper, slowly pick it up onto a raised object, like a table or counter.
  3. Then you need to find a box that your puzzle can now fit into. You might also want to fold up the sides of extra paper just for extra support. 
  4. Once you have your box, cut down the sides of one of the sides, preferably the long side. It should still be attached to the box at the bottom so that when your puzzle is in you can fold it back up.
  5. Insert the puzzle. For this part, you only need one person. It would be too chaotic if there were many people helping. 
  6. Once you have successfully inserted the puzzle, you may now close up the side you had cut down. Then tape the sides so it will not open.
And there you have it, how to transfer a puzzle from one destination to another. But, a simpler situation would be to build your puzzle on one of those puzzle mats, so that you can just roll it up and transfer. But this way really joins the family into solving a problem, together.

This was based on a true story.

  2. I find that this takes a lot of work and effort. I prefer the puzzle mats, although they do break my puzzle into rows of curled up bits. I prefer not to work with my family and "problem solve". They should solve their own problems.
