all i can think of for the moment is little boxes and maybe some flip open pocket mirrors. you could probably get some little mirrors at a crafts store for very little. if i think of anything more i’ll post it.

jump a peg games, tic tac toe games, I have also made small and simple cars.

baby rattles, puzzle boards, pencil holders, jewelry boxes and toys seem to be a favorite among my family

cutting boards, long grain or end grain. Small to medium sized boxes. Picture frames. If you turn, toy tops, small bowls. Also like the idea of the “jump” game like cracker barrel has, or tic-tac-toe.

Kitchen treenware?

Pull toys for children, rustic bird houses, recipe holders, trivets

You can also do scroll-saw ornaments and trinkets. Simple 4” or 6” round disk with a scroll sawing inside, could be animals or a theme (Halloween, Xmas, etc).

You could leave them as the single sheet and treat them as window/wall hangings or back them and use them as coasters or hot-plates or just ornaments.
