Product Description

Teacher Review

Some families keep a permanent card table in the family room with the current puzzle under construction spread out over the table top, adding a piece whenever they walk by. Marathon puzzlers will enjoy the eight cardboard puzzles in this series, all realistic portrayals of world treasures built by humans. With four 500-piece puzzles and four walloping 1,000-piece masterpieces, this set should keep a family going for many months. The eight treasures included are the Leaning Tower, the Tower Bridge, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall, Big Ben, the Parthenon, the Eiffel Tower, and the Sphinx. They're not called Masters Puzzles for nothing; these are challenging, difficult puzzles with limited color variation. Puzzles are great brain developers, encouraging small motor manipulation, visual patterning skill, and perseverance. Advertised for ages 8 and older, these would truly be a great long-term cooperative family activity. --Lair Showalter, mother and elementary school teacher

When I received this puzzle form Amazon I wondered how the fit so many puzzles in such a moderately sized box. How they did it is that each puzzle is in the same box. They have 8 compartments (which are separated by cardboard dividers). Luckily the backs of the puzzles are color coded so that even if they get mixed it is quick and easy to sort them out.

The downside of these puzzles is that they are about half the thickness of your average puzzle piece, thus they damage easily. Also the shapes seem to be almost cookie cutter puzzle pieces. There is little variety in piece size or shape.
