We have tons of these Silly Bands. Since my kids don't really wear them, I am always looking for ways to use them. We have stuck them to sticky paper and extracted them from ice (click on the underlined words to see how). Today I thought we could use them to make puzzles. My two love puzzles and puzzles are great for problem solving, using math/matching skills and using our fine motor skills. So, we took our silly bands, put them on the copier, made a copy, then matched our silly bands to the shape on the paper. So easy peasy and my kids loved making their own. Lots of options too!

So fun. I never thought of coping them, I tried to just trace and they didn't look so great.
