Easter is fast approaching and so I thought I'd share a great learning
activity that your kids will enjoy.
Great fun AND educational!!!!!
Let's make some Easter puzzles!
I simply purchased some pre-cut Easter shapes that were cut from a thin foam.
These were purchased from Riot Art and I received 12 for $4.
If you're unable to purchase them you can simply cut an egg shape from foam yourself,
otherwise you might just use paper! Foam is just more durable.
Without too much thought I began cutting into the foam.
The more cuts you make the more pieces. The more pieces the greater the difficulty!
Children will have fun both making these and putting them back together.
You might also like to challenge them further by timing them.
This will help develop their understanding of time and problem solving skills.
Here are a few of the puzzles that I made.
You can see that some I chose to use straight cuts and others more curvy.
Talking to children about the shape of each piece will help develop language skills.
This looks like a challenge that's too good to refuse!!!! ;)
I was able to simply collect all the pieces and place them in a sandwich bag.
This puzzle can be brought out year and year again.
