Autism Awareness Puzzle Picture

IMG_0702[1].jpg

This tutorial is a fun and easy gift that can add a pop of color to any child's room. I made this to hang in our learning room and to help gain awareness for Autism. There is a lot that people don't know about Autism and there is still a stigma attached to an Autism Diagnosis. I hope that for the sake of my child and all other children on the spectrum one day that will change and we can all understand their world a little better.

After taping I started painting. While paint is drying move on to step 3.

Paint Puzzle Pieces

Paint your puzzle pieces the colors you want them to be then set aside for drying.

Adding the Puzzle Pieces

When everything is done drying use a stencil ( I printed a letter W and cut it out to make a stencil).
