I found this gift idea from this site and had so much fun making these puzzles for Dallin and Erin. We got a 1.5 inch board and cut it into squares using a friend's saw. The sides were slightly rounded which lended to some imperfections, but the overall finished product turned out great. We're excited to give these to the children on Christmas!
Dallin's Puzzle
I thought basic animal shapes would be easier for him to make, so I searched for silhouette animal shapes, sized them, printed them out, used chalk to trace them onto the black blocks, painted, and glazed.
Erin's Puzzle
I used small calendar and magazine pictures as suggested in the tutorial.
