Kids Wooden Puzzle

Here's a cool little woodworking project to try. In this instructable I'll show you how I made an awesome wooden puzzle game.

Materials needed; 190 x 190 x 5 mm plywood or hardboard, 190 x 190 x 18 mm MDF, wood glue and seven different colours.

Tools needed; Bandsaw (any kind of saw will work), clamps, disc sander or just sandpaper (120 grit)

Using your 190 x 190 x 18mm MDF, draw out the frame and puzzle pieces (see image)

Simply cut-out the puzzle frame and pieces using a saw. I used a bandsaw, a coping saw or scroll saw will work just the same.

Now glue and clamp the outer MDF frame to your plywood base.

Select seven bright colours and paint each individual piece.

Now everything is dry, start sanding.

Sand the frame so it's flush, you could even round the corners (see image)

I also sanded the painted pieces to give it a rustic, well loved, well played look. (optional)

Now for the real tricky part. Complete the puzzle by making all the pieces fit.
