DECEMBER 1986

From the December issue of Better Homes and Gardens Country Home, shows an antique block puzzle, a children's toy from the late 1800s. This one with 48 blocks is larger than most. Manufactures cut lithographed prints created especially for children into squares and glued them to wooden blocks. Each block had six sides so each puzzle had six solutions. This sounds like a simple toy, but when scrambled, it was quite challenging for young children to solve the puzzles and could keep them busy for hours.
