puzzle Creator/designer: Gianni A. Sarcone
Take
52 wooden checkers and glue them together in order to form
rows of 2, 3, 4 and 5 pieces as shown below (you can also
use corks or ping pong balls instead of checkers to make
your puzzle).
Once
the glue becomes tough, assemble the rows according to the
example. Paint your puzzle pieces in vivid colors.
Then,
insert your 14-piece puzzle into a frame (see fig. below)
You
