Wooden puzzle piece, light blue – birch plywood, 3–50 cm

The nursery is getting a new wall. The photo wall in the kitchen still looks a little empty. Or you are looking for an idea for your next craft afternoon with the children. A wooden puzzle piece in soft light blue works in nurseries, on photo walls or in craft projects. It is lacquered on both sides and ready to use straight away. The wooden cutout made from 3 mm birch plywood is lacquered on both sides and ready to use straight away.

What changes for you

• You can start creating straight away without painting it yourself. The puzzle piece arrives already lacquered in colour on both sides.
• Your decoration looks good from both sides, for example in the window or as a hanging decoration. That is thanks to the light blue lacquer on both sides.
• You get clean edges and accurate shapes for your DIY project. Every piece is precisely laser-cut.
• You will find exactly the size that suits your idea. Choose from 3 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps, single or in a set.
• Each piece you hold is one of a kind. The satin-matt water-based lacquer leaves the natural grain and small knots in the wood visible.

Why this puzzle piece makes a difference every day

A few light blue puzzle pieces turn a bare nursery wall into a playful surface that still looks calm and natural. When you craft with wood, you hold a shape that feels smooth and solid. It does not look like cardboard or plastic. You can use the result as wall decoration, a gift tag or part of a larger project.

Material & finish

The puzzle piece is made from 3 mm birch plywood. It is sturdy enough for wall decoration and craft projects, yet easy to work with. We lacquer the raw boards in colour on both sides ourselves, in our own production in Pößneck. On top is a clear, satin-matt water-based lacquer that lets the wood grain show through. Wood is a purely natural material. Every piece varies in lightness and may show small knots or fine structures in the grain. That is what makes each puzzle piece one of a kind. This is not a flaw, it is the nature of wood.

Good to know about the puzzle piece

The jigsaw puzzle is said to have been invented by John Spilsbury, a London map engraver. In the 18th century, he cut maps mounted on wood into pieces to teach children geography. So wood and puzzles have belonged together from the very start. To this day, a single puzzle piece stands for togetherness. It also shows that everyone is part of a whole. That is why it suits family walls, group projects in nurseries and schools, or joint gifts.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Simply wipe the lacquered surface with a dry cloth or dust it now and then. Avoid constant moisture, as birch plywood is intended for indoor use. That way, the puzzle piece keeps its even, satin-matt look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the puzzle piece really lacquered on both sides? Yes. Both sides are lacquered in light blue and also have a clear, satin-matt water-based top coat. This is ideal for decorations that are seen from both sides.

Are the height and width the same? Yes. If you choose a height of 10 cm, for example, the width is also 10 cm.

Why don't all the pieces look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material. Differences in lightness and grain, as well as small knots, are normal. They make every piece one of a kind.

Can I work on the puzzle pieces further? Yes. The laser-cut pieces have smooth edges. They are well suited for writing on, sticking things on and crafting with wood.
