Want to make jigsaw puzzles for grandchildren would 1/4in Baltic birch be a good choice

Thanks Stu

I think it would work. I guess all you need to consider is the age of the child versus the size of the piece.

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.

That is what I use.  Just remember - No small pieces for 3 years and younger.

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 .

Stu you might wish to use Baltic Birch Plywood it is much stronger and can take the abuse of a young kid dropping, throwing or otherwise playing with the pieces.

I use Baltic birch for poster size puzzles for my grand kids a 25 by 30 inch poster is about 60 pieces. Iuse a 2/0 spiral blade to keep a large kerf.
