Step-by-step

Step 1

You can see all the materials you’ll need for your puzzle in our photo. We recommend you use our edding Funtastics fibre pens for children, available with thick and thin nibs. First, download and print a puzzle template. To make sure your puzzle doesn’t get easily damaged over time, it’s best to use thicker paper. Alternatively, you can glue your finished puzzle design onto cardboard before cutting it into strips.

Step 2

Here, we show you how to create a beautifully radiant sunshine design. Simply colour it in however you wish using dazzling shades of yellow and orange.

Step 3

There are no limits to your imagination! To finish, colour in the numbers and don’t forget to add a bright red mouth. With its thin nib, the edding 15 is ideal for drawing and colouring finer details.

Step 4

Our templates feature pre-drawn vertical lines to help you transform your picture into a puzzle pieces. Simply cut along these lines to divide your picture into five separate pieces.
