Default My first puzzle.
This is my first attempt at a tray type puzzle. I used some vinyl letters, and acrylic paints.
What ya think?

Need to add..that I placed letters inside under the pieces as well so that she and her little sister can compare shapes of letters when the pieces are removed.

PHUN! Your assemblers would have to be old enuf to know the alphabet - thus ages 5 and 6 would be able to enjoy it!

The puzzle looks real good Mike! Is it your design or from a book? Either way it's a perfect educational toy.

Rick,
it was a pattern out of an old magazine I had. I don't recall which magazine as I just found the pattern in a stack in the shop when I moved.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Great work!

You made sure that plastic wiggle eye was securely glued down, right? I am sure you did, but just something to keep in mind. DAMHIK!
