Jigsaw puzzles in April
Another month and my quick reviews of five jigsaw puzzles.
Wysocki: Frederick the Literate, Schmidt
A nicely painted picture and somewhat difficult with all the similar books, so progress evolved from finding the pieces that had some letters on them and going from there. The book titles are quite amusing. Something bothers me about how the cat is drawn, as it kinda looks like its body goes through the books and not behind them.
Kittens on the Roof, Castorland
A 1500 piece puzzle and Castorland is a brand that makes them in a size that is close to regular 1000 piece puzzles, so pieces were quite small. This took quite a while for us to get through and a little bit less fun than we had hoped. Probably not doing a 1500 again unless we find a picture we really like.
Promenade dans Paris, Ravensburger
A small break with a 500 piece puzzle and since it is Ravensburger, the quality is absolutely top tier. Can’t quite say the same for the motive though. It is a computer animated image and has an old PC game quality to its textures in my opinion.
When I grow up..., Schmidt
The kids are also doing their own thing and I really liked this 200 piece thing. Super top quality from Schmidt and a cute motive as well.
Steve Read: Naughty Puppies, Anatolian
Another quality drawing by Steve Read. A bit challenging with all the puppies, teddy bears and blankets all having similar looking “plush”-textures, so many pieces could be almost everywhere. The Anatolian brand seems decent enough, though slightly below in piece quality compared to Schmidt and Ravensburger.
