Glitter Fantasy Fun Floor Puzzle | Buffalo Games - Chuckle & Roar | 4+
Buffalo Games asked me to create art for a whimsical unicorn floor puzzle for kids that would appeal to little ones while still being design-conscious. The artwork showcases an enchanted forest scene in soft pastel purples, with chalky textures and sparkling glitter accents. The puzzle is filled with cute woodland animals, a princess, and fairies, creating a magical world for children to explore. Stylistically, it’s designed to feel like a classic storybook illustration with a modern twist. To make the puzzle even more engaging, I added 10 hidden fairy tale objects for kids to search and find once the puzzle is complete—a fun bonus layer of discovery!
Dinosaur Glow Floor Puzzle | Buffalo Games - Chuckle & Roar | 4+
The direction for Buffalo Games’ dinosaur floor puzzle for kids was left open-ended. It needed to feature dinosaurs, but otherwise I was free to create age-appropriate, engaging artwork. I brought the scene to life with vibrant colors and playful yet semi-realistic dinosaurs. Each of the twelve Mesozoic Era dinosaurs is labeled, so children can learn dinosaur names and facts while they play. To make the design even more fun, I suggested adding glow-in-the-dark dinosaur bones, giving the puzzle an extra surprise after dark. The characters strike a balance between kid-friendly charm and realistic detail, making it both educational and visually exciting.
Ocean Floor Puzzle | Buffalo Games - Little Buffalo | 4+
Following the success of the first Little Buffalo puzzles (see Puzzle Packs and Map Puzzle galleries), Buffalo Games expanded with two new floor puzzles. For this under-the-sea floor puzzle for kids, I created a vibrant ocean scene filled with colorful fish, playful sea creatures, and coral reef details to keep little ones engaged. To add an interactive twist, I included a search-and-find feature—kids can spot nine hidden characters along the bottom bar. With its mix of bold design, educational play, and kid-friendly charm, this ocean puzzle makes learning and play an adventure under the sea!

Buffalo Games asked me to create a space floor puzzle for kids that combines fun with learning. I designed a vibrant outer space scene featuring the planets in order, each one clearly labeled for an educational, STEM learning touch. Bold colors, shooting stars, and playful characters bring the galaxy to life, making this kids’ puzzle exciting from start to finish. It was an out-of-this-world success, selling over 30,000 units in its first week!
