Magic Chocolate Bar

What’s better than one chocolate bar? One you get to eat twice!

Okay, perhaps not really, but this neat puzzle will have your child thinking hard about shapes and how they fit together. We printed out a chocolate bar template, and cut into 5 pieces along the dotted lines.

I told Travis he was going to “eat” the smallest piece, which gets removed from the rectangle. Now the challenge is to fit the remaining 4 pieces back into a whole rectangle. It was a matter of turning the pieces…

As a fun reward, we cut up a real chocolate bar in the same way for a little after-school treat!
