I was looking for something unique and personal as a gift for a kid that loves animals.
I wanted something that would really wow him and I found these neat personalized name puzzles with animals! They are super cute!
Kids love gifts with their names on them!
I remember when my son got his first personalized gift. It was a puzzle. He was so excited to see his name written out on the wooden puzzle. I thought it was a really neat gift idea.
I went through a lot of choices before landing on these. All of the ones I selected are made from wood. I love wooden toys as they last and are wonderful for kids to hold and feel.
I only like the share the best of the best with you. I like to save you the time and effort it takes to find special gifts!

Personalized Name Puzzles with Animals
Super cute and oh so nice, these wooden personalized name puzzles feature adorable animals! Perfect for young ones who adore furry creatures and love nature.
Pastel colors are the key to the sweet look of this puzzle. I love how they have the names of the animals printed next to them, and the animal heads have nice shapes to them.
Options: up to 11 letters, natural wood or white
Wood/plywood, water-based paints
Full-bodied animals on the top and bottom with the name in the middle for this puzzle. The cartoonish look of the animals is fun!
Options: many color choices, engraving and adding pegs to the letters and gift wrap. Comes with a free stand.
Wood/birch, organic inks.
Oh my. If you would like a safari theme wooden name puzzle, this is one to consider! There is a jungle scene under the animal and letters for a cute surprise.
Options: up to 9 letters, letters can have pegs, color choices, engraving on back, optional stand for display.

Ok, I had to include a couple of dinosaur ones, prehistoric animals though they are.
This one is really cute and has a dino scene pattern under the puzzle pieces.
Options: up to 9 letters, letters can have pegs, color choices, engraving on back, optional stand for display.
Wood, organic
This puzzle with a name has a cartoon dinosaur and the letters are colorful with a neat dino pattern on them. A bit different than the more traditional plain letter variety.
You can opt for 7 additional animal types if you like the style but would rather have something other than a dinosaur.
Options: up to 10 letters, other colors
Wood/birch, paint, non-toxic.
I always have a soft spot for little baby forest, or woodland animals, and these are super adorable, aren't they?!
Options: up to 12 letters
Wood, paint, varnish, non-toxic
If farm animals make them happy, try this one! I live in Wisconsin so farm items are very popular here and this puzzle would be a hit with so many little ones.
Options: up to 11 letters
Wood, eco-friendly ink
Well, I couldn't decide which farm puzzle I liked best so I had to add this one as well. It is a bit more expensive because there is more to it, but it is sooo nice.
The doors open and the tractor runs on a track. It is really sort of a cross between a wooden puzzle and a busy box. Not only do you get the name but there are numbers and animals as well.
Options: up to 12 letters, engraved message
Wood/birch, wood paint, varnish, non-toxic
