Whimsy puzzles

Whimsy puzzles

I am loving this new trend of small, wooden, laser cut puzzles featuring whimsy pieces - recognizable shapes like animals or faces.  Between my friends we got quite a few for Christmas.  Most were from Artifact Puzzles.  They specialize in artisanal wooden puzzles made in USA.




I found them harder than expected.  
Only a few have the traditional flat edge pieces.  The funky shapes are used in many of the pieces so it is not obvious which ones fit together.


So many little feet!

Curves and odd bump outs.


The bonus is that it is difficult to put the wrong pieces together.



First sort by color.

The pieces are _almost_ standard, but not quite.

This one does have a flat edge!


Color was not helpful here!

The pictures does not help with the funky edge at all.


Weird hexagons



I do love the final edge.

The shapes definitely fit the puzzles.

Will totally redo these puzzles!
