Usborne Book & Jigsaw Puzzle Sets

Description

Vibrantly illustrated, these themed boxed sets offer two types of puzzles for hours of enjoyment! The soft-cover Picture Puzzles Book offers brightly colored illustrations with word bubbles directing children to find a specific image or type of image. For example, in the Bugs Picture Puzzles book, the dragonfly page asks children, "Can you see the smallest dragonfly?" Thankfully, the answers are included in the back of the book. The final two-page spread in the Picture Puzzle books provide a black and white illustration of the jigsaw puzzle for children to personalize with markers, doodle pens, colored pencils – the opportunities for creativity are outstanding! The 100-piece Puzzle brings together all the beautiful book illustrations into one large image (23" x 16" when completed). Pieces are made of sturdy cardboard in an array of fun, bright colors. This affordable set allows children to practice observation skills through two different learning paths! Comes in a quality cardboard box, which is perfect for gift giving or storage.
