Packing Puzzles

Pack the given number of each shape in the given box size. The shapes may be rotated and reflected, but should not overlap. Each puzzle has a unique solution.

Each shape consists of a group of small squares; the size of those squares is the reference for the given box size.

Go online for a helpful MS Excel template - it won't solve the puzzles for you - but it's more convenient than cutting out paper-dolls!
