Numbering Puzzle Pieces for Easier Sorting

If your children or grandchildren have several board puzzles, here is a great way to know which piece goes to which puzzle, when two or more are out at once. This works great in preschools also. Turn all the boards over and number them 1- whatever. Now turn the pieces over to each board after you are sure which goes with which one. Number each piece the same as the board it belongs to.

Number 2 board pieces would all be number 2's. Now when you find a piece left out or someone drops several puzzles at once you can easily tell where it goes.
