A delight!
My 8 year-old and myself spent the better part of a day constructing the globe. It was different and challenging, yet the numbers on the back of the pieces make it possible for an 8 year old to do it. My 4 year old nephew was so intrigued by it. He stared at it for quite some time, dying to disasemble it and put it back together. Good fun.
My 7-Year-Old Couldn't Put this Down!
My 7-year-old daughter received this Christmas Eve, and couldn't stop putting it together! We finally had to make her go to bed and continue it Christmas morning. It's a fairly hard puzzle, even with the numbers on the back of the pieces, so putting it together became a family event. Her father and I sorted the pieces by number while she fit them together. It's a very sturdy puzzle, allowing us to make mistakes and take it apart without damaging the pieces. It was a good investment.
An interesting twist to the classic puzzle!
Ever since I saw this puzzle in the big retail stores, I knew I wanted to try it out. Fortunately for me Amazon has really lowered the price from the $32 price tag I saw at Target.
There are actually two ways you can solve this puzzle. Every piece is numbered and you can assemble them round and round in order, or you can do it the hard way. There is always that urge to "cheat" you have to fight off when you can't find that piece!
My only complaint about this puzzle is the guide they give you to help you know how the final product looks. Most puzzles you just use the box, but you can only see half of the puzzle from their box view. They do give you a smaller flat plastic version of the puzzle, but it's rather tiny, and hard to really see detail that you normally would have with a rectangular puzzle box.
