British one needs to show countries, not counties.
Oh and am not being lazy, have searched but to no avail.

Thanks

Hi moondog - obviously you meant wooden

There are some good cardboard ones showing countries with tourist attractions - we have one of the uk -might be usborne, Ill check

JR puzzles are really good maps of different countries etc

Also we found a fantastic online jigsaw thingy - Ill find it in a mo, ds's current obsession so I have looked into it

I dont know about any wooden ones though

These appear in charity shops a lot

Sorry have re-read OP and see my suggestion show counties, not countries. I'll get my coat !

moondog · 05/05/2009 23:12

Stinky,I found that one but it is counties, not countries.
The other links are great. Thank you very much.

Tchibo have a nice wooden European countries one in the run up to Christmas every year, if you can wait that long. Similar to this but with
a picture on each country's piece.

LunarSea · 05/05/2009 23:21

Are these any good? UK one does show counties, but countries too (and more obvously than the counties), and it's not one piece per countty.

Lunar, they are terrific!
Have just ordered.Thanks so much.
Great price too!
