A co-worker of mine gifted this African Jungle Puzzle from Educa to us. Although we were very, very grateful, we knew we were in for a challenge the instant we set eyes on it. This wasn’t going to be one of those knock-it-out-in-a-day-or-two puzzles. And it wasn’t. But, oh my was the final result so amazing! There are so many animals and creatures to be found in this puzzle. The details are amazing. But to get there, to get to that moment where we could actually sit back and enjoy them…. well that took a while!
A Safari In A Puzzle
There are lots and lots of busy areas in this African Jungle puzzle from Educa. Animal busy. Plant busy. Water busy. Bird busy. Flower busy. It’s just busy! Bright in some spots. Dark in others. This puzzle is not for the impatient. Get your comfy clothes on and settle in for some long puzzling!
The Last Piece
This puzzle contained 2000 pieces. It was very large. The completed puzzle was about 38″ wide and 27″ tall. It took up every inch of the puzzle board that we use. The pieces were fairly loose-fitting, however we did get this puzzle used and it had some signs of wear so that might be why the pieces weren’t real tight. It was fairly difficult to put pieces in the wrong spots, which is good because this one took us over two weeks to finish! The box is large and so is the image on it, however it did not come with a poster. If you’re looking for a puzzle that is a real good bang for your buck, and takes a while to assemble, this is it!
I could not find this puzzle for sale on Amazon, but I was able to locate it on Puzzle Warehouse’s website. It’s well-worth the price and will bring hours of challenging fun!
