About this Product
This handcrafted wooden dinosaur puzzle was created in my toymaker's shop using traditional woodworking tools and techniques. Designed as a simple, freestanding puzzle with three interlocking pieces, it’s perfect for young children as a first puzzle.
Puzzles offer tremendous educational value for children by encouraging cognitive development through play. As children manipulate and solve puzzles, they learn to recognize patterns, understand spatial relationships, and develop critical thinking skills. Completing a puzzle requires concentration and perseverance, fostering both independence and confidence. The process of working through challenges and achieving success with puzzles lays a strong foundation for academic skills in reading, math, and science.
Handmade puzzles make thoughtful and memorable gifts for all ages. Each one carries the warmth and character of skilled craftsmanship, turning a simple pastime into a cherished keepsake. Whether given for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions, a handmade puzzle offers a personal touch that mass-produced toys simply can't match. Its uniqueness and quality ensure it will be treasured and enjoyed for years to come.

All the items I create are handmade using natural wood and wood products. Each piece is unique and may vary in appearance from one item to the next. The item you receive may differ slightly from the item pictured in the listing photos. The thickness of the wood used in your item may also vary slightly from the size specified in the listing.
It's important to note that the natural variations in wood grain, color, and knots make each piece one-of-a-kind, adding to its character and charm. The variations should be expected and are not considered defects. If you have any concerns about the variations or would like to request a specific look or size, don't hesitate to contact me before placing your order, and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

Meet the Maker
I am a 20-year USAF veteran, during which time I worked in air defense as a radar electronics technician and technical inspector. After leaving the Air Force, I had a second career and retired after 28 years as a Systems Programmer/Linux Administrator.
I am 75 and have been making things from wood since childhood. I make and sell wooden toys, ornaments, puzzles, clocks, fretwork, scrollsaw art, baskets, small animal cutouts, custom orders, and anything that catches my attention. Some of my best ideas have come from customers.
I have eclectic taste in music. I like a lot of kinds of music, but I am particularly fond of blues guitar. I am a competition shooter and regularly shoot in Smallbore Rifle and Pistol Silhouette matches and Steel Challenge. I like to pretend I can play the guitar.
I have two grandchildren, my grandson Odin and my granddaughter River.
