Another idea: Crazy man

Step one
Using the pencil, draw a smiley flower shape, blades of grass, and a large bumblebee on the blank jigsaw puzzle.

Step two
Mix some Resene Cool Blue and Resene White paint together to make a pale blue colour and paint in the background – make sure you don’t put the paint on too thickly. Leave to dry.

Step three
Paint the petals of the flower and the bumblebee with Resene Cool Yellow and the centre of the flower with Resene Orange. Leave to dry.

Step four
Paint the leaves and stalk of the flower and blades of grass with Resene Light Green. Once dry, paint around the edges with Resene Black. Make sure you let the jigsaw dry completely, then mix up the pieces and get puzzling!
