Peeps® Paint Chip Puzzles

Materials needed:

Peeps® template (I used this one.)
paint chips
scissors
pencil
kraft pillow boxes (optional)

Directions:
1. Gather your materials and print out the template linked above.
2. Cut out one of the bunny Peeps® from the template and use it to trace onto the back of a paint chip.

3. Cut around the traced line to make your colorful Peeps® cutout. Continue tracing and cutting until you have several paint chip cutouts.
4. There are a few different ways to make the separate puzzle pieces. The quickest option is to make straight, wavy, or zig zag cuts across your Peeps® cutouts to break them into pieces. For cutouts that look like traditional puzzle pieces, you can trace a few pieces from a jig saw puzzle and cut across the traced lines.

5. Let the kids put the pieces together to form colorful Peeps®. For more of a challenge, scramble pieces together from several Peeps® and let your child sort through them to form the completed bunny shapes.
6. When playtime is done, tuck the pieces inside a pillow box to preserve them for future fun!
