Simplify
Let an adult cut one of the paper plates into jigsaw pieces. A child can place cut puzzle pieces on top of the first paper plate to match his name.
Extend
If the child doesn't need the second name paper plate as a guide, cut that plate into a different jigsaw piece name puzzle with more pieces. Use with spelling words for an older child.
