If you have an old puzzle with lost pieces, then you can make amazing crafts with children by recycling them. The other option is throwing them away which is bad for the environment.
Crafts with old puzzle pieces includes Christmas ornaments and also wreath (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc). You can also make puzzle characters, bugs (such as butterflies, bees and ladybugs), refrigerator magnets, Valentine's Day heart or my personal favorite...a picture frame!

Jigsaw
Puzzle Piece Wreath - Jigsaw puzzles are great, however, once you have completed a jigsaw
puzzle, a lot of the fun goes out of it. While you may have a few
favorites that you enjoy putting together over and over again, most
jigsaw puzzles tend to gather dust on the shelf once they have been
assembled and then put away. Recycle these old jigsaw puzzles by
using them to make crafty wreaths that can be used at Christmas or
all year round.
Make
Puzzles Boxes - While puzzles come in various forms and sizes, the boxes used to
contain these puzzles have not undergone major design changes. While
the number of pieces increases, the size of the pieces usually
shrinks, and so a puzzle box measuring 8 inches wide by 2 inches high
and 11 inches in length should contain most puzzles. Use the
following instructions to make your own puzzle box for your
self-created puzzle, or to contain a puzzle whose box has been
destroyed; you might even wish to use the box for holding paper
puzzles, such as crossword puzzles.
