Guide Review - Mardi Gras Cat Jigsaw Puzzle
I had a mother and daughter team test solve this puzzle and it took them nearly two hours to complete. When solved, the colorful puzzle measures 24" x 18", so it's best to work on a surface with plenty of room to accomadate all 300 pieces (remember, they're oversized). In this particular puzzle, the foreground, background and color scheme all differ in such a way that it's fairly easy to tell which sector a puzzle piece belongs in. Sorting the pieces accordingly helped greatly.
The puzzle is made from 90% recycled materials and non-toxic, vegetable-based inks.
The manufacturer recommends these puzzles for ages 10 and up.
Oversized pieces may be good for those with reduced dexterity due to some osteopathic or nuerological ailment, though this is not proven.
These puzzles have great play value at a reasonable price.
