Wooden Toy Puzzle Design

Over the past year of the pandemic I have gotten into woodworking and joined a wood workshop as a way to broaden my skillset.
I have always been very interesting in Toy & Packaging Design and wanted to find a way to combine these into one handmade, sustainable product:
This is how The Dolfing Box was born. A 3-part toy that is both a wooden toy block set, a puzzle, and a framed art piece all in one!
I have designed, cut, painted and build the entire thing by hand, and I'm incredibly proud of how far I've come as a first-time-woodworker!
I spend several months designing, drawing, planning and eventually sawing my wooden toy puzzle design. Determined to learn as many different techniques as possible, I also created a self-contained frame that doubled as the box/packaging for the puzzle, learning to drill, sand, paint, and engrave the wood.
Work in Progress:
Through these work in progress photos you can see the full project in development from start to finish.
Final toy blocks & product shots:
I'd love to put this puzzle toy design on store shelves and be able to sell it and offer it to a wider public... so if you are a toy manufacturers/ distributors... please get in touch!

Nice post, really enjoyed going through it in detail. The way the updates were shared made it easy to understand the progress and effort behind the event, and it also gave a clear picture of how much consistency and practice goes into performances like these. It’s always interesting to see how different levels of participants are developing and gaining experience over time, especially when the focus is not only on results but also on learning and improvement. Content like this feels quite relatable because a lot of people today are balancing studies, training, and other commitments at the same time, which can sometimes get a bit overwhelming. In such situations, some students look for support options like rapid assignment help…
