I created this cardboard name "puzzle" for my 2.5 year old daughter. All you need is a cardboard box, scissors, markers, and velcro dots. (linked below)

 It took about 5 minutes total and it's a great activity for my daughter to help practice her name and her colors. 

Step 1. Cut out a big piece of cardboard from a box for the bottom.

Step 2. Cut smaller pieces of cardboard for the letters of your child's name. 

Step 3. Color the smaller letter pieces with marker and use a black sharpie to write the letters on top. 

Step 4. Put one side of the velcro stickers on the box in a line.

Step 5. put the other sides of the velcro stickers on the back of each letter. 

Step 6. (OPTIONAL) Write the letters of your child's name really small above the velcro on the big cardboard piece.
