Announcement I enjoy designing and laser-cutting tactile games, brainteasers, puzzles and other "artifacts". In 2016, I launched the original Connections Card game and the Canada 150 version in 2017. SideLinks is the rebranded Connections game. I can customize games and educational materials for those who cannot find exactly what they need in retail stores. I have also published several activity books (word games, historical colouring book). Online you can find local scavenger hunts and unique word games, plus some "print and play" games.

4 out of 5 starsOrder was hung up in Buffalo New York for weeks. The flower cards are a little too repetitive. Too many pairs that look alike. Would like to see more variety. (Tulips, iris, peonies, lilies, poppies, wild flowers.)
Not bad. I get some use out of them. -

5 out of 5 starsWe love this game very much. We are homeschoolers and it's so helpful with vocabulary building, logic and imagination. It was delivered very fast and the seller was very nice. Thank you so much 😊

5 out of 5 starsThanks so much for the new custom puzzle. Can't wait to take it to school with me on Monday. I'm sure our puzzle maniacs will love it. I think I might have the kids customize each piece as a retirement gift to myself. I'll let them play with it blank for a while first (really let them give it a try). I'll send you a picture when done. Thanks again for taking the time to make the error in my first order right. Super Happy!!!
