This is one of the easiest, fastest, most fulfilling crafts you can do! It’s so simple and the end result is just adorable! Yes, cutting out the puzzle pieces is a little tedious, but it’s doable! The original American Girl Puzzle printables that I made were smaller, about half this size. They were cute and looked like a jigsaw puzzle, but the pieces were almost impossible to cut! So, this is simpler and it still works. Not small enough pieces to consider a jigsaw, but not large enough to consider a jumbo floor puzzle either.
Tips-
- If you want to skip the crazy cutting for the puzzle pieces, just print the box and it still looks like you have a puzzle! Stick it in the game room on the shelf and no one will know the difference! Except your dolls when they pull it out to put it together.
- In the video I scored the top of the printable box for visual purposes, but I recommend scoring the bottom. That way it doesn’t cut the printable in between the paper and cereal box.
- If you want smaller printables, just adjust your printer settings.
- Use the recycled paperboard! Card stock will work if that’s all you have, but the paperboard make the boxes so sturdy! Just like a real puzzle box!

Can you do a magic tree house book series for 18″ dolls plz?
How do you get the printables?
They are listed in the materials needed
Rudy,where do you get your craft supplies
I mostly get them from Michaels. I like that they take competitor coupons, have great sales, and it’s close to me. I usually stock up big after holidays. Like right now the Halloween section is 70% off, and will even go to 80% off! Also, I can find great stock up craft supplies at Target when the back to school stuff goes on sale for 90% off!
Can you make the Wings of Fire series? For the Ag mini books? I know you probably have lots of requests, but can you do the Wings of Fire?
