I was looking through the flyers one morning, and in the Lee Valley flyer I saw a puzzle made with wooden blocks as the pieces. I thought it was a great idea. Each cube has 6 faces, so each puzzle is actually 6 puzzles in one. And if all 6 pictures are quite similar it gets exponentially more difficult!
Instead of using cubes for my puzzles, I bought a couple of Jenga sets at the Dollar Store. It turns out that 2 sets give me enough pieces for three 28 piece puzzles; one puzzle for my parents, one puzzle for Craig's parents, and one extra that maybe I'll paint something on if I get ambitious enough.
Each puzzle shown in the above photo is one way of rearranging the same 28 pieces. I thought it was kind of neat that the numbers worked out so perfectly. Not one extra piece, and each arrangement works out to a perfect rectangle with exactly 28 pieces. I couldn't have planned it that way if I tried!
