this one's so gorgeous that you might want to frame it after putting it together...
the beautiful artwork is both retro and upscale. the simple black-and-white colors give it extra-special style. the puzzle photography is by jo-ann richards (of works photography, victoria, british columbia, canada) and the puzzle design by shelley davies.
a puzzle this cool makes a great gift for holidays, puzzle-lovers, for a family, for homeschoolers, photographers, animal-lovers, and artsy friends and family.
homeschooling families can:
-play an "i spy" game with the completed puzzle. younger ones can verbally name what they see. older ones can write a list.
-kids can choose one animal to research and write a report about.
-play "point and name game," with the child's eyes closed or blind-folded. you can spin around the child, then aim them toward the puzzle to touch a spot and name that animal.
-the puzzle can provide a fun activity for rainy or bad weather days, recreational time, and teaching cooperation.
each one of the thousand puzzle pieces is cut to give every piece a random shape.
by cobble hill puzzle company, where they create puzzles with museum-quality standards and using 100% recycled chipboard. they use premium-grade blue board, textured linen paper, and fine ink/varnish.
finished puzzle size will be: just over 25-1/2" wide and just over 19" tall (the puzzle includes an exact poster design of the puzzle that is 9" wide and nearly 12-1/2" tall)
note: be cautious if any pets or little ones are in the household; puzzle pieces can cause choking danger if they are put into the mouth
