Imported directly from Kaikohe, New
Zealand by Cleverwood, these hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzles are fine examples of New
Zealand folk art as well as satisfying and rewarding puzzles. Louis Toorenburg
designs these puzzles carefully – the cuts and colors are not random or arbitrary.
His hand colored jigsaw puzzles have as few as 8 pieces up to as many as 76 pieces and
cost from $10.00 up to $21.00. The simple puzzles are great for young kids, while the
bigger puzzles will give an experienced adult more than a little trouble.
“A mechanical puzzle is a self-contained object, composed
of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation
using logic, reasoning, insight, luck, and/or dexterity.” - Jerry Slocum
