Made from hard maple and finished with a little mineral oil, these puzzles will delight young and old. They stand up too so they can be displayed on a shelf.
I was inspired to make these by my girlfriend's grandchildren. The only qualification I have in child development is an amazing resemblance to Santa Claus. So, here's something from a professional about how great puzzles are.
$12 each except for the recursive rabbit. I get a dollar apiece extra for the babies.
Dimensions are approximate height x width.
