MY THOUGHTS
I have been a huge puzzle fan since I was little. I used to do them with my Granny. I have done small puzzles and large ones and even double sided ones, but had never done a 3-D one yet. I was really excited to get the opportunity to try my first 3-d puzzle from Ravensburger.
First the pieces are plastic which is a great feature since I am sure the traditional puzzle pieces would break when bending to fit. Now you do still need to be careful with the pieces cause over bending can cause breakage. Another great feature is that the pieces are numbered which makes assembling easier and not frustrating. Of course some puzzle lovers may not like this feature and it does take away the challenge, but it makes it better for family time with younger puzzlers.
Assembling the puzzle did not take as long as I had thought it would. It was a quick and painless process to be honest and I can not wait to do my next 3-D puzzle. Of course taking the puzzle apart does take more effort than assembling it so roll up your sleeves.
The dvd is available where puzzles are sold and online at Amazon.com for $ 18.99 so be sure to grab one today to try your hand out on a 3-D puzzle.
