Preferred term

peg boards  

Definition

  • Peg boards are simple puzzles, easy enough to construct that many farming families may still have some that great-grandfather made to keep the children busy, consisting of a wooden triangle, a particular number of evenly spaced holes, and a number of pegs one less than that number. A typical arrangement is 15 holes with 14 pegs, the holes arranged in rows of 1,2, 3,4, and 5. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Peg Boards]
