Review: Puzzle that is fun for the family and not annoyingly difficult to complete - Background Our family loves puzzles. For our 11 and 8 year olds, they have an attention span that is not quite to a 1000 piece level yet so 500 piece is a good fit. 1000 can sometimes be annoying to complete and the most fun puzzles are the ones you actually want to complete. Subject matter is also important. Who wants to do a puzzle that is a chore to complete? I know for my kids, a puzzle that is funny, has interesting illustrations and bold colors are perfect to keep them engaged. Overall thoughts The Mudpuppy Artsy Cat puzzle perfectly fit this checklist. I'm no fan of cats but I (and my family) find the illustrations funny and well executed. The grid structure with the individual cats creates mini puzzles within the larger puzzle which makes it more fun to sort and do as a team. My kids love the characters and have asked to do the puzzles more than once. In fact after getting all three of the cat series puzzles, my son asked to do them again so that we could take a photo of all of them completed together. Details As far as difficulty, they are pretty easy. My son and I usually complete them in 2 days and I would say most people would complete them in 2-5 days. The individual cats in a grid make sorting easier, and the borders between each cat aids as well in putting them together. The pieces seem to be cut and fit together well. As you can see in photo three (similar Bookish cats puzzle), I am able to hold the entire puzzle off the ground and the pieces stay engaged. That is usually our test of a good fitting puzzle. Each puzzle also includes a paper printout to allow two people to get a view of the completed puzzle. Plusses + Fun engaging subject matter for all ages + Well made and cut pieces that fit together nicely + Bold and bright colors that are printed well + Good pricing Minuses - Relatively easy and quick to put together - Wish they made even more of them!
