DIY Lego Picture Puzzle (A Joyful Riot)

We’re obsessed with these bright, happy picture puzzles. So inventive! This one requires the use of an X-Acto knife, so you’ll need to do that part yourself. But kids can still pick out the colorful pieces and choose their favorite photos. Check the directions and you’ll see how to divide up the crafting.

And if the dad you’re celebrating is the puzzle-loving type, try wrapping up the pieces individually and letting him put it together — with a little help from the kids, of course.

But the tutorial is so thorough it looks easy enough to pull off, even if you’ve never actually held drill bits before. From the denim backdrop, to the mason jar, to the real light-up fireflies, I’m totally smitten with this craft. And I think Dad will be too.
