Made in the USA!
Develop dexterity, problem-solving and reasoning skills, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification, and more with these big, bright, multicolored WOODEN JIG-SAW PUZZLES. The pieces are light in weight, large in size (about 3/4" thick for easy handling), and interlock loosely so even pre-schoolers can assemble them easily. All are precut, safe, sturdy, and water-resistant. The colors are non-toxic stain-like impregnated finishes. The 28" Square With Outside Knobs is approximately 30" high, 30" wide, and is Multi Colored.
This Jig-Saw Puzzle is not only for 1 or more players, but is at least 40+ % more difficult than the W-1150 28"Sq. This is due by having no outside perimeter straight edge. Each perimeter piece is as if it belongs in the middle. You cannot start this Jig-Saw Puzzle by doing the outside edge first, then filling in. It contains a total of 64 jig-saw puzzle pieces.
This is the most challenging jig-saw puzzle we currently make within our line of "THE PUZZLE-MAN TOYS".
But please note, we have built much, much larger and harder jig-saw puzzles. The largest to date measured just 6'-6" high x 10'-9" wide. It was 26 puzzle pieces high x 43 puzzle pieces wide for a total of 1,118 jig-saw puzzle pieces. Each piece approximately 3" square, but with possible knobs sticking out on any of the sides making it larger. The design was that of the American Flag, but more importantly, the exact design was that of the Bennington, VT, design of 1776, chosen by Congress to represent and honor the US Bicentennial Celebration in 1976. I was commisioned to design and craft the replica by the Saginaw Art Museum. I ended up upon completion, displaying it within the museum for (3) months and then retaining ownership so I could take it on tour around the USA, which I did throughout the year of 1976 and the spring of 1977. It now rests in boxes for a special event in the future which is presently unknown to date.
THE PUZZLE-MAN TOYS
Our wooden toys are created for the safety and education of all. We started designing for young children, but soon found that every person in the family was the kid having fun. While having fun, learning skills are very apparent. These wooden toys help develop dexterity, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification, problem-solving and reasoning skills, plus many others.
All of our Jig-Saw Puzzles are created without a frame to insert the pieces into, as most others are. We want the child to match and compare body parts that go together or structural shapes to each other, in order to reassemble each design. Not put a piece into a frame that matches the frame, having no consideration for the relationship of the components that make up the design. The grain of the wood plays an important part as all designs are cut from a solid piece of wood.
This toy has the following qualities and capabilities:
Non-Toxic (safe in child's mouth).
Interlocks loosely (very easy to attach one piece to another).
Water-Resistant.
Washable in the Sink or Play With in the Bathtub.
Heat Resistant.
Can be Hot Plates and Coasters.
Decorative & Conversational throughout the house.
All puzzles will hang together on the wall with no hook or gluing. (It will hang from just a small finishing nail in the wall).
And last but not least, this item is part of our entire line of:
