who knew mammals could look this rad-ical and this rockin' and this neon? the rich colors, fun hairstyles, and beautiful details of this puzzle make it extra, extra special.
the mohawk-ed mammals include: a maned wolf, a red squirrel, an african civet, a maned rat, a crested macaque, a blue wildebeest (who, ironically, is pink), an aardwolf (wha???), a crowned monkey, a crested free-tailed bat, a visayan warty pig, a nyala, a crested porcupine, and a king cheetah.
if you're a homeschooling family, this puzzle offers all kinds of educational opportunities:
- each child can choose one animal to draw, research, and tell the others about;
- an older child might research mammals with mohawks, why they have those, and where these featured animals live;
- one child might plan a field trip to observe any of these animals who are locally available to see (a zoo, a state or national park, an animal park, or a wildlife preserve).
mudpuppy makes quirky, fun, artful puzzles, somehow looking both modern and vintage at the same time. this stunning illustration is by kay tanis.
the puzzle is created with nontoxic ink and using environmentally-responsible practices, using 90% recycled paper for the greyboard puzzle pieces and 70% for the box.
the finished size will be: 20" wide and 20" tall.
the puzzle comes in a heavy-duty lid and box, very much like an extra-nice gift box.
note: if pets or small children age three or younger are in the household, monitor them and make sure no pieces end up in their mouths. a puzzle piece could cause choking.
