"Create" word building game

Crafty Puzzles
I made this out of maple as a Christmas gift for my four year old nephew. It’s from the book Wooden Puzzles: Thirty-one Favorite Puzzles and Patterns . The idea is to rearrange the letters to build as many words as you can. I plan to make additional letters to send to him later, to expand the number of words he can make.
The dowels are cherry and the finish is danish oil. I may need to put another coat on as some of the curves on the tops of the c, e and a are looking slightly dry in some light.
The fit of the dowels in the base’s holes is quite tight but I think he can manage it and it may loosen up over time. If he finds it hard to put them in, then he can build the words on a tabletop and use the base for storage.

Kubb: Swedish Yard Game

During my first week of Physical Therapy school, two of my classmates introduced me to this game. It is called Kubb and Swedish in origin. Being Norwegian myself, I loved the game, so I quickly built a few sets. I highly recommend it, as simple or as complicated to make as you want, and a blast to play!
