puzzle pal
story

"My 3 children have enjoyed their puzzle pals from toddlerhood. Over the years many plastic electronic toys have come and gone from our playroom, but Marcia's beautiful puzzles stay in the "favorites" drawer year after year. Even my youngest, 18 months, is learning to complete his Rainbow Scottie Puzzle Pal."
— Cyndi Power, mother of Amelia (Giraffe clan), Grace Louise (Squirrel clan) and Jed Henry (Rainbow Scottie clan)

About Puzzle PalsMarcia Wiley

"The first Puzzle Pal was created in 1987 to honor the birth of my godson, Gregory. A few years later I rediscovered this idea, and over the years have designed and made hundreds of Puzzle Pals." — Marcia Wiley

An uncommon spelling or an unusual name can be creatively accommodated as well as more traditional children's names. I have successfully designed Puzzle Pals for any name of 5 letters or more (11-13 letters is about the max). Lately, I have been creating puzzles that combine a first + middle name or first + initial within the 5 to 13 letter range.

The animals usually tell me which Puzzle Pal clan each name belongs to. If you have a particular animal in mind for your child, please note it on the order form and I will try to honor your request. However, I may need to choose a different animal for a name based on design criteria. I will communicate any changes with you via e-mail before your puzzle order is processed.

In the Puzzle Pal workshop, the material used is a high-quality birch plywood. All edges are sanded smooth for safe handling and the puzzles are finished with bright colored stains and non-toxic, environmentally-safe polyurethane finish. Overall size of each puzzle is ~8" x 10" x 1/2" thick. The size and number of puzzle pieces vary with each name.
