wooden puzzles
i always love vintage wooden puzzles, how quaint, learning to tell time :) ~
this one is from sifo, but i usually find playskool ones like this sing a song of sixpence puzzle ~
always missing a piece or two.. more like this here ~
on the subject of wooden toys, these folks are looking for their long lost wooden vehicle, a toy toxic remembers her little brother had that you could take apart & put back together. i'm always keeping my eyes peeled for one at estate sales ~
