Monster Puzzle from Naturelish

Puzzling is about fun. And challenges. Happiness is finding a puzzle that is both fun and challenging. Like this Monster Puzzle from Naturelish. How can you not smile or even laugh at all of the crazy cool monsters in the picture?!? But then you see that there’s a lot of similar colors. Hard spots. The challenge is real in this puzzle. And so is the fun!

A Little Help. If You Want It.

The pieces in the Monster Puzzle from Naturelish have colors on the back. These are to assist you in sorting the pieces. If you want the help, that is. Now, I’ve seen plenty of puzzles with letters on the back, but never colors. There are 6 different ones. So you could sort the puzzle into 6 piles. Again, if you want to. Some people consider that ‘cheating’. I find myself using them if a puzzle is so hard that I might not enjoy it. I might quit. The colors (or letters) on the back give me a little kickstart. I still have to assemble the puzzle. I can still enjoy it. So I don’t consider it ‘cheating’. But I’m ok with people not liking it and not using them. You do you!

Cool!

The pieces in this puzzle are cut really differently. You’ll run into some of the craziest cuts you’ve ever seen. That actually makes it a bit easier as you don’t have to worry about ‘mis-fits’. And you’ll encounter some really fun-cut pieces too! Here’s just a few!

The Last Piece

This puzzle included a colorful poster. There are 1000 thick pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 19″ high and 27″ wide. The pieces fit very well and each is very unique. The colors were good. This was a fairly challenging puzzle.

No Cheating!

Ok, I’m kidding. But, you could ‘cheat’ a bit on this Crazy Monsters Puzzle from HUADADA. How? Well, if you sort puzzles like us, you could start out sorting the pieces by the letters on the backs of the pieces. Really, though, it’s not like the puzzles puts itself together. There are only 4 letters, so you’ll just be able to sort the puzzle into four ‘quadrants’. After that, it’s still up to you. And no one is making you use the letters either. Sometimes we do. Sometimes we don’t. It’s your puzzle and your rules. And you can feel free to change the rules any time you want!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 19″ high and 27″ wide. There is a full-sized poster included that quite honestly is frame-worth on its own. The pieces fit fairly well and were of decent quality. The image quality and colors were fantastic. Bright. Vibrant. Just amazing. This was a really, really fun puzzle.

They are thick, fit well and have amazing imagery and color. The poster is large and as wonderfully colorful as the puzzle. This puzzle is great!

They’re Watching Us

You have to admit, the picture in the Chicken Family puzzle from PPuzzling is funny. Very funny. After we finished the edges, I started with the firework explosions and my wife worked on the eyes.

Disney Tsum Tsum Puzzle from Ceaco

You never know what puzzles you might find in an antique mall or flea market. Sometimes you go bust. Sometimes you find magic. I came across this Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco in an antique mall in El Paso, Illinois. For $2 no way was I going to pass it up. The picture looked fun. Even though I had no clue then what a Tsum Tsum is, I had to get it.

Lots of Interesting Faces

There are all sorts of wonderful characters in the Disney Tsum Tsum puzzle from Ceaco. Fortunately, though, they are all facing forward. If they’d been oriented randomly we’d still be working on this puzzle weeks after starting. The colors and the faces were all that saved us from a long time of puzzling.

This was a really fun puzzle. It is one of our all-time favorites. It is an older puzzle. I was not able to find it available new online, though I did see a few used ones on eBay. Ceaco makes a similar puzzle that is still available (below).

What’s A Tsum Tsum?

Heck I didn’t have a clue what a tsum tsum is. Well, after a little research I found that it’s a very very popular toy in Japan, mostly, but also elsewhere. Pronounced ‘(t)soom (t)soom’, the toys are highly collectible. And kinda cute, I have to admit. And they make for a great puzzle, too!

The Last Piece

This is a 300 piece puzzle. It did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 19″ wide and 19″ high. The pieces are thick, fit well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and bright. The characters are whimsical. This puzzle was fun to assemble and was a joy to look at when completed.

Whiskered World A Kitty Kaleidoscope Puzzle from Cross and Glory

I thought it was funny that when we were done with this Whiskered World A Kitty Kaleidoscope puzzle from Cross and Glory, one of our favorite puzzle makers, I thought “Boy, that’s odd. There’s a cat eye in the middle of that cat’s hoodie.”. Really? That was my first thought? Not the great colors. The magnificent faces. Or the missing ears. Yeah, that one eye. Just staring at me.

But seriously, what a great puzzle this was to assemble. And a great challenge too. This puzzle took us quite a while to assemble. But it was more than worth it. It’s different and amazing. You’d half think that it’s a photograph it’s so well done.

Whiskered World A Kitty Kaleidoscope Puzzle from Cross and Glory

One Piece

The interesting thing about this Whiskered World a Kitty Kaleidoscope puzzle from Cross and Glory is that once you get beyond the border, there’s just one style of piece. There aren’t any fancy cuts. No weird fits. Just one piece. You’d think that’d make it super-easy. But it doesn’t. Oh no, not at all. This puzzle is a test of your endurance and perseverance.

The Last Piece

This 1000 piece puzzle included a poster. It’s a small poster, about the same size of the image on the box. The assembled puzzle is about 20″ wide and 27″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is quite good. The colors were great and bright. The imagery is fun and enjoyable. If we had room to hang our finished puzzles, we’d definitely hang this one.

The Crab Shack Puzzle from White Mountain

We’ve assembled our share of busy puzzles. The ones where there are objects everywhere. Some more obvious than others. The Crab Shack puzzle from White Mountain has to be one of the best. The seaside setting is littered (in a nice way) with all sorts of great, interesting objects. Lots of them. It’s a whimsically fun place full of color. We often say we are ‘working on a puzzle’, but putting this one together was definitely not ‘work’!

White Mountain Puzzles The Crab Shack, 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

A Work of Art

The imagery in The Crab Shack by White Mountain is really well done. It’s one of the best quality puzzles we’ve done. Sometimes you find things that don’t look quite right in a puzzle. Maybe an object that doesn’t quite fit. Or maybe it’s not the right size. Something about it. Not in this puzzle. Everything is drawn perfectly. It is a puzzle worthy of framing.

There are some very challenging spots in this puzzle. Not just one or two. Quite a few in fact. This puzzle brought hours of challenging enjoyment and the final result was something to relish.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ high and 30″ wide. The pieces are nice and large and thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright and the colors are absolutely fantastic. A poster is included that is clear and easy to work from. This is a great challenging puzzle!

The Kitchen Cupboard Puzzle from Ravensburger

We both agree that The Kitchen Cupboard puzzle from Ravensburger is the most fun puzzle we’ve made. There are so many whimsical items to be found in it. Everywhere. All over. Weird things. Funny things. Cute things. It’s just a joy to put together and will remain as one of our favorites forever!

Quality. And Challenging.

A hard puzzle is more fun when you’re dealing with quality pieces. Just the right thickness. Brilliant colors. A matching poster (great when there are two of us working the puzzle at the same time!). We’ve always had great success and fun with Ravensburger puzzles. This one was no exception. We really enjoyed putting The Kitchen Cupboard puzzle, from opening the box to stepping back and enjoying the final result.

Mickey and Friends Boardwalk Fun Puzzle from Ceaco

The image on the front of the box for this Mickey and Friends Boardwalk Fun puzzle from Ceaco really caught my eye when we were ‘visiting’ the puzzle section of our local grocery store. The colors. The cartoon characters. Everything about it screamed ‘fun’. I’m a big fan of cartoons (I highly recommend watching the TV show Toon In With Me on MeTV) so I was so looking forward to making this puzzle. But then…..

Great Picture. Not So Great Quality.

As I mentioned I was drawn to the picture on the box when I bought this Mickey and Friends Boardwalk fun puzzle from Ceaco. And that didn’t end when I stepped back to enjoy the final result. Bright colors. Great images. It’s the time in between the purchase and the putting in the final piece that wasn’t as enjoyable. The pieces just weren’t cut right. One had to be modified with a knife to get it to fit together right. If I tried a piece in the wrong spot I had to be super careful removing it or I’d get 5 or more pieces with it. Oh and if you’re like me and like to assemble smaller portions of the puzzle off to the side and then move it to the puzzle, good luck. The pieces don’t fit well enough to make that an easy task!

Ceaco – Disney – Mickey & Friends Boardwalk Fun – 1500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

The Last Piece

This 1500 piece puzzle included a very colorful, nice poster. The assembled puzzle is about 32″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit very loosely and are not cut very well at all. If you even touch the puzzle inadvertently the pieces will tend to come apart, at least until the entire puzzle is assembled. The image quality on the pieces themselves is very good.

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 1000 pieces. The final puzzle is about 19″ wide and 26″ high. There is no poster included. The pieces are thick and cut perfectly. They fit together really well. The image is crisp and bright. This is an enjoyable, quality puzzle. The one downside is that the picture on the front of the box is obscured by some of the title text. If you want to see what the finished puzzle will look like you have to reference the (smaller) picture on the back side of the box.
