Description
This big card floor puzzle builds a cosy breakfast scene in 24 pieces, with a family of three grey mice gathered round the table in their little house. A blue and white gingham cloth is laid with a stack of pancakes, a bowl of fruit, a carton of juice, a pink jug and teacups, while pink curtains frame the windows and a red lampshade hangs overhead. The walls are mint green with a painted wood grain, the corners are sunny yellow hung with tiny framed pictures, and a pink striped rug runs under the chairs. Once finished, the scene measures 61cm long and 46cm wide, so it covers a good stretch of floor.
Being a floor puzzle, it is made to be spread out and worked on at ground level, on a playroom rug, a bedroom carpet or the living room floor, where there is room to turn pieces round and try them in place. With 24 large pieces, it is a quick puzzle to finish, which leaves plenty of time to start again, and the busy scene gives lots to talk about: who has the teacup, what is in the fruit bowl, how many pancakes are left. It comes in a box shaped like a little house with a scalloped roof, which keeps it tidy on a shelf between games.
Each piece is cut from card 0.2cm thick, and the whole puzzle weighs 0.445KG, so it is light to carry. As with any card puzzle, keep it dry and away from spills, wipe the printed side with a soft dry cloth if it needs it, and pop every piece back into the box when play is over so none go missing. Slip the house-shaped box under a bed or onto a low bookcase, or wrap it as a cheerful present for a rainy afternoon that brings everyone onto the floor together.
