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 Pals
"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.
