Kraft Mac & Cheese Puzzle from RoseArt

We usually head towards the 1000-piece puzzles at the store. But something stopped me when I saw the Kraft Mac & Cheese puzzle from RoseArt. Maybe it’s because we were hungry (we were). Maybe it was the bright colors (they are bright!). No matter what the reason, we had to have this 300-piece puzzle. We got it at Five Below, so the price was right ($3!). So it came home with us!

Big Pieces, Big Colors, Big Fun

This Kraft Mac & Cheese Puzzle from RoseArt was quite fun to complete. Well, almost complete. The pieces are really big. The colors are amazing. In no time we were enjoying the mac-and-cheese wonderfulness. Well, almost. This bought-new puzzle was missing a piece. You can see it in the upper right. Or not see it. Maybe someone took a bite out of the puzzle!

I contacted the manufacturer (they have a website on the box). Very soon after they emailed me a few quick questions which I answered and sent back. In a matter of days we got a new puzzle! I wasn’t expecting that! This puzzle is apparently no longer made, so they couldn’t send the same one. Instead we got another brand new puzzle! Now, THAT’S customer service!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 300 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ wide and 17″ high. The pieces are large, cut into fun shapes, and fit well together. The image is colorful and detailed. Our bought-new puzzle was missing a piece but the manufacturer quickly sent us a replacement puzzle, more than making up for it!

Breakfast Table Micro Puzzle from RMS International

We picked up this Breakfast Table micro puzzle from RMS International at a Five Below store. Actually we grabbed a few because they’re quite inexpensive. And fun. Five Below has a nice selection of micro puzzles. They’re small of course, and sometimes they’re quite easy. And sometimes, not easy at all! Fortunately, this one was one of the easier ones.

Small Pieces. Big Colors.

The colors in this Breakfast Table micro puzzle are bright and sharp. They’re easy to tell apart, too, which is a good thing. The pieces are small and we’re old. We need all the help we can get seeing the pieces. The bright colors helped. In the end, this puzzle didn’t take too long to finish. It was fun and worth every penny! And speaking of pennies, I put one in the bottom picture so you can see just how these puzzles are!

The Last Piece

This 150 piece puzzle included a poster. A really, really small, cute little poster. It’s as brightly colored as the puzzle and almost frame-worthy. Super small, tiny frame-worthy. The assembled puzzle is about 6″ wide and 5″ high. The pieces fit tightly. The color and image quality are fantastic.

Kawaii Food Micro Puzzle from RMS International

We picked up this Kawaii Food micro puzzle from RMS International at a Five Below store. They have a nice selection of micro puzzles. They’re kind of a new thing for us, but whenever we’re at a Five Below, we usually find ourselves picking up a few. They’re inexpensive. And small of course. Sometimes easy. And sometimes, not easy at all! Fortunately, this one was one of the easier ones.

Ice Cream Shop Window Puzzle from Ceaco

Whew. We made it. We finished the Ice Cream Shop Window puzzle from Ceaco. All 2000 pieces of it. Done. Completed. We sighed a sigh of relief when that last piece went in. What a wonderful puzzle to sit back and enjoy. But it was not without its challenges, that’s for sure. This one took us a while to finish. But it was oh so worth the effort!

So Much Going On

There’s a lot going on in this Ice Cream Shop Window puzzle from Ceaco. When you’re done with it you have to stand back and really look at it. Everywhere. Every inch. It’s really quite an amazing puzzle. And you’ll remember the spots that gave you ‘trouble’. Like the bricks. And the wood window and door frames.

The Last Piece

This 2000 piece puzzle included a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 38″ wide and 26″ high. The pieces fit really well and the image quality on the pieces is very good. It was fairly hard to put a piece into the wrong place. The picture (or drawing) is like a piece of art. It’s very well done and definitely not a case of ‘clip art.’ This is a challenging puzzle but one of our all-time favorites.

Buc-ee’s Always Open Puzzle

I’ve had to admit it, we’ve become Buc-ee’s addicts. We can’t take a roadtrip anywhere without planning at least one stop at one. We eat there. Of course, we get gas there. We shop there. And we even get puzzles there! This Buc-ee’s Always Open puzzle shows some of the favorite items at the craziest roadside destination we’ve ever seen!

Be a Beaver Believer

This Buc-ee’s Always Open puzzle didn’t take too long to complete but it did have its challenges. It made me hungry for the Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich (chopped or sliced, it’s your choice!), which I love. There are two Buc-ee’s in the puzzle, which can throw you for a bit of a loop, too.

The Last Piece

This puzzle does not include a poster. Some of the graphics on the front of the box cover the picture so you’ll need the pictures on the sides of the box if you get stuck.. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 28″ wide. The pieces fit fairly loosely. The colors were great. There are definitely a few challenging spots to be found.

Technicolor Treats Puzzle from Springbok

We love popcorn. That and all of the colors are what attracted us to this Technicolor Treats Puzzle from Springbok. We found this older puzzle in an antique mall somewhere. We find a lot of used puzzles in antique malls. We’ve had great luck with them. Usually they aren’t missing pieces and are in great shape. This one was. But that didn’t make it any easier. This one was a toughie!

All Those Colors

This Technicolor Treats Puzzle from Springbok has cool colors. “Oh how awesome” we thought. But some of the popcorns are the same color. Like as in exact same color. And the red popcorn boxes are almost all the same too. The savior? The pieces are totally different. The box isn’t lying. Springbok says right on there ‘every piece is different’. They are!

The Last Piece

This puzzle did not include a poster. There are 1000 thick pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces fit very well and each is unique. The colors were good. This was a pretty challenging puzzle for us.

I couldn’t find this exact puzzle on Amazon at the moment, but Springbok has other fantastic looking puzzles available!

Breakfast Cereal Puzzles From Kellogg’s

I love these kinds of puzzles. I ate my share of those little single-serve cereal boxes as a kid. I’d eat the ‘yucky’ ones first. The ones I didn’t like. And I’d save the ‘yummy’ ones for last. These Breakfast Cereal Puzzles from Kellogg’s remind me of those times and the flavors and textures. Six puzzles in all, these were a joy to assemble.

They’re Grrrrreat!

These Breakfast Cereal Puzzles from Kellogg’s didn’t take too long to assemble. It’s much like another set of cereal puzzles we did, from White Mountain. I found these puzzles in an antique mall, but you can find them in stores and online. They come in a little package reminiscent of how the small cereal boxes are sold in the stores.

The Last Piece

Each ‘cereal box’ puzzle comes in its own box. There is no poster included with this puzzle, but honestly you really don’t need one. Each puzzle is about 9″ high and 7″ wide. This is a fun puzzle and would make for a great gift for all ages! There are 100 pieces in each puzzle, and they are nice and big and fit tightly. The colors and artwork are fantastic.

The Nostalgic Baker Puzzle from Buffalo Games

There’s a reason why you’ll find so many puzzles here on Puzzling for Fun that were designed by Aimee Stewart. We find her works to be fantastic and enjoyable. Some are more modern, some are more a nod to days gone by. Like this one, The Nostalgic Baker Puzzle from Buffalo Games. There are so many cool things in this puzzle. Things we’d find in our grandma’s kitchen. Or mom’s. Heck, even our own!

The Details Matter

There are so many little touches in this The Nostalgic Baker Puzzle from Buffalo Games. Hand-written recipes. Spilled cookie sprinkles. The things that, when you’ve put in the last piece, you step back and spend time enjoying. We found ourselves pointing to items, saying ‘oh I remember that’ and ‘my mom has one of those’. This is another great Aimee Stewart puzzle.

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a poster. A fantastic, full-color poster. There are 1000 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great. This is a very fun puzzle to do and enjoy afterwards. We consider it to be one of Aimee Stewart’s best.

Noodles For Lunch Puzzle from Galison

It never fails. We make a puzzle that is food-themed and I get hungry. This time it was the Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison. Thirty five bowls of noodles. If that doesn’t get you hungry, nothing will. Each bowl is different. The chopsticks are different colors. And the backgrounds are different. Thankfully. Otherwise this would’ve been one seriously-tough puzzle. As it was, it wasn’t that hard. But then, it wasn’t that easy either.

A Tight Fit

I was able to pick this Noodles for Lunch puzzle from Galison up by a corner piece when we were done. The pieces fit tight and do not come apart easily. It’s hard to make mistakes putting this one together. It’s pretty obvious if you have a piece wrong. Or even try to put a piece in the wrong spot.

Is this puzzle a frameable work of art when you’re done? Probably not. But it’s a cool puzzle nonetheless and it was fun to do. And that’s the whole idea!

Noodles for Lunch 500 Piece Puzzle from Galison – Featuring 35 Colorful Images of Tasty Noodle Dishes from Southeast Asia Photographed by Troy Litten, 20″ x 20″, Fun & Challenging, Unique Gift Idea

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 500 pieces. The final puzzle is a square that is 20″ x 20″. The pieces fit really well and are nice and thick. The images of the bowls are a little less crisp making them a bit challenging but not super-difficult. There is a poster included. This is a great challenging puzzle!

Breakfast In Bed Puzzle from Buffalo Games

Sometimes I feel a little like a broken record when I say “We love Aimee Stewart’s puzzles”. But it’s so true. The combination of the often nostalgic images and the wonderful colors appeals to us. This Breakfast in Bed puzzle from Buffalo Games is another of Ms. Stewart’s great works. It’s not overly complex, but subtle in many ways. How can you beat a great breakfast in bed, with a book, flowers, kitties and more?

It’s Not All Avocado Toast and Kittens

There are parts of this Breakfast in Bed puzzle that were a big challenging. Actually quite a few spots were. While the image is quite colorful and crisp on the left side of the puzzle, much of the right side is softer, more subdued. The colors are more pastel. Not super hard, but that part of the puzzle took us a little longer than the rest.

The Last Piece
