A first play toy with their name on it
Making Name-Engraved Wooden Puzzles
We engrave your child's name onto wooden pieces and complete it as one puzzle.
The challenge
The worry that a child's gift is quickly forgotten
Common toys lose their appeal over time, and items without a name make it hard to tell whose they are. It is often disappointing when a gift's meaning does not last.
The solution
One puzzle with a name carved into it
Carving your child's name into each wooden piece and completing the puzzle combines play and remembrance in one. As the pieces are fitted together one by one, the name is naturally seen and read, so the value of the gift lasts.
Description
Our name wooden puzzles are custom-made products in which a child's name is carved into pieces of natural wood, which are then fitted together into a single puzzle. Each letter is separated into its own piece, so children naturally learn the shape and order of the letters. They are also meaningful as gifts and keepsakes, and many people choose them for special occasions such as first birthdays and birthdays.
Ordering a custom wooden puzzle starts with choosing the number of letters, the font, and the size of the pieces. The outlines are cut with laser cutting and the name is engraved on the surface, so the lines stay crisp and the surface feels smooth to the touch. We select eco-friendly wood, and because children handle and play with these puzzles, we check the finish carefully.
If you are considering an order for the first time, start by thinking about your child's age and play habits. The right set can differ depending on whether the pieces should be small or large and whether your child is at the stage of learning to read. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in our inquiry form and we will guide you through the details step by step.
What's included
-
Choosing the name and font
Tell us how your child's name should be written and which font you prefer, and we will review together how to lay it out on the puzzle. At this stage we also check details to watch for when splitting it into pieces, such as final consonants and letter spacing.
-
Confirming size and piece layout
We decide the overall size of the puzzle and the shape of the pieces. It is best to adjust so the pieces are not cut too finely, taking your child's age and hand size into account.
-
Laser cutting and engraving
We cut the selected wood using laser cutting and engrave the name on each piece. We check each piece one by one to make sure the letters are clear and the piece edges are even.
-
Finishing and packaging
We smooth the surface of the pieces and finish them with an eco-friendly coating. If you ordered it as a gift, we will also make sure the packaging is ready when it is delivered.
