From the author
Prepare eight non-interlocking shape puzzles for visual matching: two three-piece, five four-piece and one five-piece puzzle. Each has a colored cutout page and a faint-picture placement guide.
The eighteen-page PDF includes a cover, preparation directions and sixteen puzzle/guide pages. Print, laminate if desired and cut the pieces while keeping each guide intact. Optional Velcro dots help keep pieces in place. IFIO Girl.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Match and place 3-, 4-, and 5-piece non-interlocking puzzle pieces into their correct positions.
Build visual discrimination by comparing a piece's shape and image to the correct puzzle space.
Practice fine-motor grasp and placement while assembling printed and cut-out puzzle pieces.
Teaching tips
Use the faint-picture template page under the pieces as a placement guide for learners who need extra visual support.
Laminate all pieces and pages before cutting so the puzzles hold up for repeated, multi-year use.
Start with the 3-piece puzzles and build up to the 5-piece puzzle as a learner's visual performance skills progress.
Skills covered
Visual-motor matching — students place non-interlocking pieces into the single correct position within each puzzle outline.
Visual discrimination — students compare a piece's shape and image details against the faint-picture template to find the right placement.
Independent task completion — the resource is built for use as an ABLLS-R Section B teaching or assessment task.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What if a learner has trouble keeping puzzle pieces in place?
Add a soft Velcro dot to the back of each piece and a matching rough dot to the faint-picture template — the directions describe this as an option for learners who need extra support.
Are all eight puzzles the same difficulty?
No — the set includes two 3-piece puzzles, five 4-piece puzzles, and one 5-piece puzzle, so difficulty can be adjusted as a learner's skills grow.
