Description
This slide puzzle packs a bright scene of wild animals into a frame small enough to slip into a pocket. A parrot, a spotted big cat, a toucan, a butterfly, an elephant, a snake, a zebra and a lion sit among leaves and flowers in orange, turquoise, pink, yellow and green, set across square sliding tiles in a cream plastic frame. The words Wild Wonders Puzzle run across the top in cheerful multicoloured letters. It measures 8.9cm long and 7.4cm wide, and at just 0.6cm thick it weighs next to nothing.
The idea is simple and pleasingly tricky. One space in the grid is left empty, so each tile can slide into the gap beside it: shuffle the picture, then work the pieces back into place until every animal is whole again. It is a quiet, screen-free puzzle for a long car journey, a train ride, a rainy afternoon or a few minutes in a waiting room, and it tucks easily into a bag, a coat pocket or a desk drawer between goes. Every finished picture is a small win, and starting again takes only a quick shuffle.
Made of plastic, it is light to carry and easy to look after: wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it dry before the next game. The bright print sits on a clean white ground, so the colours stand out and the animals are easy to spot as the picture comes together. We like it as a small, colourful gift on its own, or tucked into a gift bag alongside a book about animals for anyone who enjoys a puzzle they can keep coming back to.
