I found this Ice Cream Dream puzzle from LEGO in an antique mall in El Paso, Illinois. Of course the colors caught my eye but at first I wasn’t sure what it was. Then I looked closer and realized that it’s not ice cream, it’s LEGOs. Well, I’m not going to pass on a puzzle of my favorite childhood toy!
One Kind of Piece
Once you’re past the edges, there’s actually only one shape of piece in this Ice Cream Dream puzzle from LEGO. Each piece has two tabs on the ends, and two sockets (blanks or holes, whatever you like to call them!) in the middle. They are either placed vertically or horizontally. But don’t think that makes it easier. Get that thought out of your head right now. Some of the colors are very similar. It’s a challenge!
The Last Piece
This 1000 piece puzzle did not include a poster, however I did buy it used so a new one might include it. The assembled puzzle is about 25″ wide and 20″ high. The pieces are thick and stubborn to put together. And they’re even more stubborn to take apart if you have a piece wrong. I could tell that the previous owner had issues removing pieces as some of the tabs were bent.
