Puzzle Piece Murals
As the title suggests, this mural is in pieces. Each piece is printed out, colored in, and hung on a wall in order. For our mural, we bought a PDF kit of pieces to print out. If you want to do the same, the link is in is the Source section below. If you don't want to buy a kit, find an image to color, adjust the size, and print it out in pieces.
"Baby (Cradle)" by Gustav Klimt.
There are puzzle piece murals for paintings created by Gustav Klimt on Art Projects for Kids.
Materials

Markers
Tape
Instructions
Color puzzle pieces.

Tips
Color in, or at least decorate, the whole page (even in-between/empty spaces). It makes the finished project more striking and fun to look at.
This is a good project for older and younger kids to do together.
