Autumn is officially here. The curvy, blunt shapes of the pieces were more challenging than I expected!

This week’s Dover Sampler doesn’t have much by way of puzzles, but there are some drawing books. I adored these things when I was a kid. Did you ever get into this sort of thing?

It's been a while since the weekly Dover Sampler had some puzzles! This one took me a while :D

Straight-edged pieces but the horizon line and colors are helpful.

Curious about how puzzles are made?

May 4, 2020 - In the time of “puzzle and chill,” listener Myco needs to know: how are jigsaw puzzles made? Plus, why are clouds of terrifying black birds gathering in listener Amanda’s neighborhood every evening? ELT puts the pieces together. Guests: Thomas Kaeppeler, President of Ravensburger...

📞 PHONE MAZE! 📞
This quick mini-maze is perfect to do on your phone. Either simply follow with your finger, or take a screenshot and use the pencil in your editor.

Weekly roundup time! This week's theme: LABYRINTHS, puzzles with only one route. Great for meditation, kids, art therapy, or a reason to break out that new writing implement.

New mini maze: PHONE MAZE! Thanks to some wonderful brainstorming with Tame Chrys Prince, I'd like to start offering a phone friendly mini maze. I will just post the finished maze directly in the group as a jpg, so there isn't an external link to follow. It will be sized specifically for use on a phone. (I'm testing on an iPhone 6 which is pretty small.)

You might just open it and follow it with your finger or your eyes. A solution wouldn't be necessary since they're so tiny.

If you want to use a stylus and mark it, the easiest way would be to take a screen grab and then edit that to access your "pencil."

I need to think of a really succinct way of putting that :D

Anyway, I'd really appreciate your thoughts and comments, especially if you've got an Android phone.

This is it for labyrinth week. I hope they provided you with some diversion. Let me know if you have any feedback in the comments. 💋

Have you figured out any interesting uses for your daily labyrinth? 🤔

http://ge.tt/3FIkie23

22/04/2020

It's labyrinth week! These puzzles have only one route that takes you through the entire maze. Available in black and white or color.

This week we're doing labyrinths: meditative mazes with only a single path, no intersections. Check yesterday's post if you're curious about their uses. You can probably come up with more!

Available in black and white for printing or color to use on-screen if you prefer.

Tuesday's labyrinths are here - http://ge.tt/6Qbhie23

This week's theme is LABYRINTHS. They look like mazes, but they don't play like mazes. There's one path to follow, for a stress-free, meditative experience.

Download here: http://ge.tt/7Dvcie23

What's the purpose?

• relaxation (and we could ALL use that these days)
• younger children
• an excuse to play with some new pens or markers
• a potential activity for seniors with dementia
• something to stick on your tablet and try out your stylus

I've made these as simple jpg files, in black and white for printing, or in color for on-screen use (to follow with your finger or a stylus.)

09/04/2020

Hey, gang! I'm curious if any of you would be interested in a labyrinth-type maze. No branches. No choices. One path to follow that wends through the maze.

I could see various uses:
• relaxation (and we could ALL use that these days)
• younger children
• an excuse to play with some new pens or markers
• a potential activity for seniors with dementia
• something to stick on your tablet and try out your stylus

Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in something like this. The sample is small, but they could actually be quite big and elaborate, and we could flow the pen through it while we were listening to an audio or just chilling.

Here's my last batch of minis - today's are also spirals!

More minis! These are three to a page, so they are interesting short, wide shapes.

Solution is now with the puzzle. http://ge.tt/649dMM23
