Your child's name puzzle with an extra piece - a darling sitting puppy dog !
Chunky pieces are 3/8" thick - the pup can sit on a shelf. Up to 7 letters, no spaces please.
We usually make the puppy a golden yellow with a red scarf, but if you prefer other colors just let us know.
Custom made and handcrafted by Puzzle People since 1972.

PLUS we also send a by-product slat of wood from which the letters were cut for your puzzle... it makes a darling frame for snapshots! You simply tape photos under each of the letter-shaped (and puppy-shaped) holes. (Maybe a gift for the grandparents?)

Pieces are a chunky 1/2"" thick, and rise slightly above the 1/4" tray for easy palacement and removal by little fingers. Non-toxic materials throughout.

When shopping for name puzzles for toddlers, look for these important educational characteristics:
* Meaningfully shaped letter pieces without sharp points,
* Letters spaced apart, not squashed together, tabs, or "gimmicky" shaped letters,
* Well sanded, front and back, like all our puzzles.
* Letters on a straight line, not tipped or "floating"
* Stained or painted pieces, versus laminated paper
* Tray to define and contain the pieces, versus frameless
* Unless the child is over age 4 avoid traditional "Inny-Outty" shaped puzzle pieces as they are simply too challenging
