Horse Puzzle or Toy Patterns

[Rick Kr]

My granddaughter's fifth birthday is coming up and I would like to make a set of two or three horses for her. Either jigsawed but pinned together so there is movement but not a puzzle that comes apart. Or just some horse figures. I am interested in finding some patterns. She has been into My Little Ponies but the figures I've found have some details and thin sections that I think would not make good play toys.

Any ideas appreciated.

It can be as simple as doing an internet search for horse silhouette. Or maybe a plan like this:

Are you talking about something like this? I google 'horse puzzle', copy, paste into Word or an imaging program to create the size I want and then print the 'pattern'.

Thanks. I've changed paths in favor of a gear toy, but it is involved enough I have found something for her birthday and will complete the gear toy for a Christmas present.

Now that is something I would play with! What a neat project.

The gear toy is an excellent idea. Will intrigue her now and for quite awhile to come.
