Something Fishy Impossibles Puzzle (750 pc) Review

This is a neat jigsaw puzzle. There is some degree of repitition in the picture to make it tricky. And then they go and take away the edge pieces, so you just have to pick a random place to start. Makes it much more interesting. And in case that is not enough, there are five extra pieces, that do an excellent job of blending in and looking real. I had no idea which pieces I wouldn't use until I was completely done. If you like jigsaw puzzles, you'll like this.

Butterflies flutter by in a beautifully maddening garden. It has 5 extra pieces that don't fit anywhere, and it's borderless, with no straight edges! Test your skills on bunches of butterflies, plus fun hidden images, too! Can you find the red lips buried in the floral scene? Note: the box cover has only a small portion of the puzzle, not the entire image.

Ravensburger Ocean World - 240 Piece puzzleball Review

Ravensburger Ocean World - 240 Piece puzzleball

I purchased this puzzle ball for my 7 year old nephew for Christmas, thinking it would be something he would enjoy. My was I right! We just pulled it out for the first time this morning (they have more toys than they know what to do with), and he LOVED it. It was a morning project that took about an hour & a half to complete as a team (he & I and his younger brother & sister).
The best parts about this puzzle ball are:
1) the durability of the plastic curved pieces. It made it easier to put together, and even when he was rushing up the stairs to show his dad, and accidentally tripped dropping the ball, it didn't break. That saved us from some major tears!!
2) The way the ball is set up is by number (on the back/inner side) making it MUCH easier to piece together. Honestly, without the numbers, I think he would have been a little lost- and that's saying something because he's a little expert at piecing together models. In the kit, all the pieces are loose, except for the top and the bottom five. These are the starting points and the puzzles go by inside number around in a circle.
The easiest way for us to piece it together, given the age group of the kids (7, 6, & 4) was to sort the number pieces (first by tens, one hundreds, and two hundreds- then by individual number). This was actually one of funnest (and most educational) parts of the game for the two youngest and they were proud that they got to help their big brother. It really helped the littlest one a lot with numbers too, so I thought it was a great success. :)
Since we were the ones grouping the numbers in order, Connor was really able to fly through piecing the puzzle together. If he was doing it by himself, I'm sure it would have taken quite a bit longer than it did. But I think we worked out the best method for us. :)
I also like that the numbers on the back of the pieces can be used as a guide if you desire them, and am hoping that this puzzle will be something he can hold onto and allow himself to be challenged by in a few years when he's older and is ready to do it without the numbers.
Overall, if you have a kid that's into building or piecing models together, don't hesitate to buy this! We found success with it. :)

Ravensburger Oceanic Wonders - 3000 Piece Puzzle Review

My wife is a fan of puzzles, so I did some looking around and picked this puzzle for one of her birthday presents. She just finished it last night and we've already toasted the completion with some excellent Chardonnay. This is an exceptionally high quality puzzle. You will need to have a large table devoted to the process while you piece it together. Also, plan to invest some time: There are 3000 pieces! The illustration is quite fine, but it doesn't do it justice. The finished puzzle is gorgeous.

Tedco 4D Vision Woolly Mammoth Anatomy Model Review

After seeing this at the La Brea tar pits museum store our son was dying to have it but we didn't want to have to pack it on the plane home. Found it for about 10 bucks cheaper online. He got it for his fourth bday and we put it together and he can name all the organs/parts of the body. It's pretty amazing. The info about the mammoth is good, too (though obviously written in a foreign language then translated), but they could use an english language proofreader as evidenced by some of the awkward grammar.
