Puzzles are a big part of any preschool classroom. Children are able to practice their fine motor skills and learn about a variety of topics. The problem I found was that the boxed puzzles never last an entire school year. The boxes would tear up and puzzle pieces would be lost. I eventually decided to not even keep the flimsier boxes.
Instead, I cut the picture from the lid and taped it to the front of a ziploc bag. I then placed the puzzle pieces in the bag. Kids can still see what the puzzle is meant to look like and baggies take up less space!
I've also seen this done using plastic pencil boxes, which I might try one day!
