Bryan_Carey's Full Review: Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle 24pc
Puzzles are a great toy for youngsters. Putting puzzles together improves fine motor skills and gives children a sense of achievement. The problem is, some puzzles have too many pieces and/or the pieces are too small, increasing the likelihood that the pieces will be lost. These problems are eliminated with the Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle- 24 Piece. Let's take a closer look: Basic Puzzle Facts:
The Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle is a large puzzle with large pieces. Each piece of this puzzle measures about four by six inches and the pieces are interlocking- just like those of a traditional jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is thick, made from heavy cardboard stock and unlikely to get broken.
This puzzle offers a specially coated, Easy Clean Surface that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth without damaging the pieces of the puzzle. The picture on the Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle depicts that of a princess, two unicorns, a castle, and many colorful surroundings. The completed puzzle measures two feet by three feet.
Final Thoughts: Jigsaw puzzles are a great learning tool for children and they offer a nice departure from the usual type of toy. Almost all puzzles, however, come with small pieces and most have fifty or more pieces in total. This is fine for older kids, but children younger than five cannot handle a puzzle like this, even though this age group is the one that, in many ways, could benefit from puzzles the most.
The Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle solves this problem with its large pieces. There are only twenty- four total pieces and children age three and older will enjoy assembling the pieces of this puzzle together. With pieces this large, there is practically no way the pieces will get lost and with so few pieces, young children will be able to assemble together on their own in no time, triumphantly placing the final piece in its proper place and feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
Ravensburger makes many different puzzles and the Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle is, as you might have already figured out, intended more for young girls. Little princesses will love the picture of the princess, the unicorns, and the overall fairy tale setting. They will highly anticipate locking the final piece into place so they can admire their own workmanship and the pretty picture before them.
Little ones sometimes spill food and other things on their toys, but this is not a problem with the Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle. The pieces are coated so that they can be wiped off with a lightly damp cloth without warping or otherwise damaging the puzzle pieces. I recommend keeping the water to a minimum if you need to wash the puzzle because too much water could possibly penetrate parts of the puzzle (the manufacturer says this won't happen, but better to be safe than sorry). It should be easy to wipe the puzzle clean with only a small amount of moisture.
Children love to assemble jigsaw puzzles and they rank among a few toys that are fun and educational at the same time. The Ravensburger Princess Jigsaw Puzzle is a very nice puzzle for little girls who love princesses and fairy tales. It will improve fine motor skills and problem solving ability while keeping little ones entertained and occupied.
