The puzzle pages were inspired by the candy reviews! The pages may be cut apart for children to assemble. This activity could be placed in a math center. For a class party, two sets of puzzles may be used, so two teams might race each other to finish the puzzles first. Skip-Counting-puzzles-candy-theme PDF
