this is a guest post by one of the coolest people in the world-
Peyton Cole Ingram
Peyton asked if he could do a blog post. I of course was so happy to let him do it. He asked if he could make a puzzle, so we thought of a way to make one with what we had, and took pictures of the process. We had so much fun:) so here is Peyton…
Puzzle Druzzle
What you need:
1 piece of a paper
markers or crayons
clear tape (packing tape is best)
scissors
Step 1: Color a picture
Step 2: Get your tape and cover both sides so the paper is fully covered by the tape
Step 3: Get your scissors and trim the extra tape off of the edges
Step 4: Turn your paper over and draw the puzzle pieces on the back, you can make it have a lot of pieces or just a little
Step 5: Now cut along the lines you drew for the puzzle to cut out the pieces
Step 6: Now to the fun part! Turn the pieces over and put your puzzle together!
You just made a puzzle!
Peyton’s tip-Always have a juice box as you work and the masterpiece of the puzzle is patience.
Peace,
Peyton

Dear Peyton,
I think your puzzle is so neat! I am going to remember this when I am with my 2 1/2 year old nephew to do when he is a little older. He really likes his wooden puzzles so we’ll try a handmade one!
He is expecting his little brother to be born on Thursday of next week–so I sure would appreciate any advice you have to tell him about how to be such a good big brother?
Thank you, Peyton! Tell your parents and Conner hello and have a nice weekend.
Your friend in Ohio,
Connie
I asked Peyton and here is his advice on how to be a good big brother:)
“Never be mean and if you are, feel sorry” Peyton
That is such good and kind advice; thank you, Peyton!
Your Ohio friend,
Connie
