PUZZLE BLOCKS


Story Blocks part 2 : Puzzle Blocks


Following the creation of the story blocks utilizing Golden books, I thought that I might be able to incorporate the whole picture to capture the essence of the story and also create a puzzle.
Some of the Golden Books lend themselves well to a whole picture puzzle - You just need six different pages in a story to get a four block picture puzzle and then carefully decided where the best point to cross cut is to get a complete picture 

Cinderella






The Little Mermaid


Snow White
My favouriteis the old hag with the apple - I suppose that speaks volumes!

Story Blocks - A Golden Book Block Buster!





Last year I specifically bought Golden Books to make gift tags, VIEW HERE. I bought the books that looked dilapidated but  still had nice pictures in them. ( I bought a lot of books to keep because I dont have the heart to cut them up as well.)

Some time ago I got my dad to cut me up some wooden blocks. My original intention was to make up sets of blocks with the seasons on it. That didn't work out and my efforts looked really trashy. So in the back shed the blocks sat until I saw someone else had made up block with Beatrix Potters Book pages on them. Mmm ..that got me thinking about all those little golden books sitting in my cupboard.

So here are my collection of story blocks. If I can find a second copy of the books I am going to make up little gift sets for young children. Stacking blocks to play with and follow the story
