Description
This mini jigsaw puzzle gathers a line-up of sharks on a deep blue sea, cut into 24 card pieces that come in their own small box. We love the illustrations: a hammerhead cruises along the top, a long-snouted saw shark noses in at the bottom corner, and a spotted shark, a black-tipped one and a big grey hunter with a pale belly swim between them, all in soft blues, greys, oranges and browns. Finished, the picture is 15cm square, small enough for a tray or a corner of the desk, and the card is 0.2cm thick, satisfying to pick up and turn. The backs are a plain apricot orange, so a stray piece is easy to spot and flip the right way up.
With 24 pieces, this is a puzzle to finish in a single sitting rather than over a week, and that is a large part of its charm. It suits a coffee table on a slow Sunday, a kitchen table on a quiet afternoon, or a bag for a train journey or a weekend away, as the little box takes up hardly any room. The box itself is printed with the sharks and the puzzle's name, so it looks just as good on a shelf as it does open on the table.
Each piece is cut from card with a printed face and a plain back, and the shapes interlock neatly into a square with gently rounded corners. Card is happiest dry, so keep the pieces away from damp and spills, and tip them back into the box after each go so none wander off. As a gift, the cube box is easy to wrap and pairs well with a book about the sea.
