Floating Bears Puzzle Board

[baggetta]

Well, if you are cooped up with little kids you are probably looking for things for them to do.  Here's a little project I came up with that you might enjoy cutting on your scroll saw for your kids or grand kids.  It's easy, it's fun, and it's a bit educational for the young ones.  I call it Floating Bears.  It's sort of a puzzle board.  The child must be able to fit all of the bears in their appropriate slots (without stomping on them to make them fit.).  Each bear is a bit different, so the board offers a challenge.  To make it interesting you might want to time the contest and make it a game.  The bears can be left with their white pattern paper so that the kids can color them, name them, or draw on them.    I cut mine from MDF, but you could also use birch plywood.  I've even made a short video to see how this thing is cut out on the scroll saw and put together.  You can view the video here on YouTube.  Time to have some fun.   Free Pattern
