 This adorable little wooden kitten is part of my Itty Bitty Animals Collection – a charming lineup of tiny freestanding animal cutouts perfect for creative play.

Crafted in my toymaker’s shop in Tallahassee, Florida, using traditional woodworking tools, each kitten is cut from solid wood, carefully sanded smooth, and left unfinished so you (or your little one) can paint, stain, or decorate it however you like. The simple, classic shape makes it easy for small hands to hold and stack.

My grandson loves lining these up and building towers in all sorts of creative ways – they make wonderful open-ended stacking toys that encourage imagination and fine motor skills.

Approximate Size:

* Length: 2.5 inches
* Height: 2 inches
* Width: ¾ inch

Because I make these from tiny wood cutoffs leftover from larger projects, each piece is unique. Dimensions may vary slightly, and the type of wood depends on what I have available at the time (usually light-colored hardwoods). If you’d like a specific wood type, just send me a message – custom orders are always welcome!

Please Note:
All my toys are handmade from natural wood. Each one is one-of-a-kind, so the grain, color, and any natural knots or variations will differ from the photo. These natural characteristics add to the charm and are not considered defects. The thickness and exact shape may also vary slightly. If you have any specific preferences, feel free to contact me before ordering.

Ready to ship from my workshop in Tallahassee, Florida, USA.

Add rustic charm and playful challenge to your playtime with this handmade stacking goats puzzle.

Crafted from  natural wood in my toymaker’s shop using traditional woodworking tools, each piece is carefully hand-sanded and finished with a protective blend of mineral oil and beeswax that I mix myself. The warm, smooth finish highlights the wood's natural grain.

This freestanding puzzle measures about 9" tall, 5" long, and 3/4" thick. Its delightfully tippy nature is part of the fun, adding an extra layer of challenge as you balance the goats and sheep.

My five-year-old grandson assembled it in under a minute , but some adults have found it surprisingly tricky. That makes it perfect for advanced toddlers, older kids, and even grown-ups who enjoy a satisfying brain-teaser. If you have never seen this puzzle assembled, it can be challenging to assemble.

Beyond stacking, the individual pieces are freestanding farm animals that can be mixed with other toys for imaginative play. Whether building the tower or creating farmyard adventures, this puzzle encourages creativity and skill-building.

Developmental Benefits:
- Hand-eye coordination
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Shape recognition
- Memory and problem-solving
- Goal setting and patience

These foundational skills open the door to higher-level learning. This is a fantastic beginner-level puzzle that grows with your child.

Perfect for:
- Gifts for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions
- Homeschool and preschool learning
- Collectors of unique wooden toys

Important Notes:
Each puzzle is handmade from natural wood, so no two are exactly alike. Variations in wood grain, color, and knots are normal and add to the unique character and charm of your piece. The item you receive may vary slightly from the photos, including minor differences in wood thickness. If you have specific preferences, feel free to message me before ordering. I’ll do my best to accommodate them.

Handmade with care in Tallahassee, Florida, USA.
