Check out these new puzzles, controls and three part cards from Puzzle Heads!
Mine came in the mail today and we are really thrilled with the quality of the puzzles
and materials.  The lady who runs the company (Mira Herbert) sent the following information to
share with my blog readers:


I design and create all of my puzzles myself from start to finish. They all start out as an original pencil drawing before becoming a digital piece of art. Stencils are then created for each color block. The images are silk screened with water based inks on to Baltic birch plywood panels which I cut into the finished puzzle pieces. My puzzles are guaranteed to last for years in your classroom and the corners will not deteriorate or become rounded.  Ideas for new puzzles or materials are always welcomed and have either already been created or are currently in progress in my workshop.
Here are the links for the materials:
Monarch
Ladybug
Nomenclature cards

 Sad to say JMP and Appleseed are no longer in business. Some of the product
line seems to be available through Alisons, so try there.
