browders Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think it would work. I guess all you need to consider is the age of the child versus the size of the piece. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 that would be fine if you had a backing on it that way for the smaller the grand-kid is the easier it would be for them to assemble. and make the pieces larg for the little ones.

JustLarry Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 That is what I use. Just remember - No small pieces for 3 years and younger. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim I think it would work. I guess all you need to consider is the age of the child versus the size of the piece. Jim For the younger, the wider the kerf should be ,so they fall in place without struggleing.Also the younger the bigger the pieces and fewer.I've been contemplating useing rubber cenent or contact cement for a life long durable bond too.Spray glue isn't the best .
