Description
Somewhere around the age of seven, children are ready for a real puzzle. Five hundred pieces is a good step: big enough to be a challenge, small enough to finish.
The pieces are larger than those of a puzzle for adults. Small hands pick them up and fit them in more easily. The finished puzzle is also not so large that it takes over the whole table.
The picture is a cheerful zoo, full of animals: lions, giraffes, elephants, monkeys and parrots. Each animal has its own color. That helps children to sort the pieces and find a starting point. They often start with one animal, then the next, and then fill in the paths and trees between them.
Inside the box is a poster of the full picture. A child can lay it on the table and compare pieces with the poster. The box itself stays closed, so the pieces don’t get lost.
The box is sturdy and will last through many puzzles.
Puzzling trains patience, concentration and seeing shapes. It is also a good thing to do together.
From 7 years. Fans of puzzles can move on later to the jigsaw puzzle 1000 pieces, Dutch skies.
