Puzzle Piece Of Usa in a child's hands
The New Jersey piece from the United States puzzle map, sold on its own. Almost every edge of this piece is water: a river down one side, a river and a bay along the other, the ocean below. It is very nearly an island, and a child who traces it discovers that the borders people argue about are often the ones a river drew first. Silk screened and laser cut, so the piece drops back into the hole it came from. The puzzle map is a separate item.
