Our Experience With This Fun Food Puzzle Activity

Food Puzzle- Pillsbury Puzzle using a pop tart- kids activities blog — How fun and tasty are these food puzzles?

These puzzling pop tarts are so much fun to eat! Last time we had a slumber party we grabbed a box, I think these were the strudel type. We are not huge fans of junk food usually, but these are super easy to grab and make for a large crowd without any complaints! They are great for a treat.

To make the personal puzzles (pictured at the top) we suggest grabbing a scrap of paper and sketching out your design. Then put your paper design on top of your pop-tart, use a toothpick and poke holes in your paper along your lines into the tart. You can now see where you need to cut the pop-tart in order to create the puzzle pieces.

The large puzzle is a great group activity. I love activities that bring people together!
