This Set features a rectangular silhouette and a rustic texture, offering a playful aesthetic for curated kids displays.

Hailing from the early 1960s, these Whitman and Jaymar tray puzzles are a vibrant celebration of mid-century graphic design and tactile play. The collection spans from the whimsical charm of a scooter-riding elephant and mother-son kangaroos to the high-stakes adventure of Disney’s Zorro, capturing the diverse landscape of childhood wonder from a bygone era.

As a grouping, these puzzles provide a striking visual impact, perfect for propping on a bookshelf or mounting as temporary wall art in a nostalgic playroom. The heavy cardboard and saturated inks carry the unmistakable patina of time, lending a sense of history and warmth to any collection. They are a reverent nod to a time when play was simple, sturdy, and beautifully illustrated.

This set is vintage, over 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
