Great puzzle game for the kids

Buy a kilo bag of chips from Iceland (57p) then empty the contents of the bag onto your kitchen table.

Challenge the kids to then put the chips back together to make up the potatoes they were originally cut from!

It's an inexpensive puzzle game for your children which will give them endless hours of fun.

Plus you get to eat the puzzle once the frolics are finished!

    It's an interesting theory that all of the potato chips can be put together in their original state, but it must be a bit frustrating for the kids. I'm sure it provides some sort of entertainment for the adults who are laughing from the other room....knowing all the while that the chips were cut from hundreds (if not thousands) of potatoes in a factory and dispersed randomly into packets :D

  • Haha brilliant half term fun!

    To add to the potato based child play... my hubby (when he was in scouts as a youngster) used to use value instant mash as modelling clay!
