“Dissect” a goldfish without dissecting a goldfish! Not your
average puzzle… this awesome goldfish puzzle is GIANT (48.5” x 33.5” assembled)
and so well made with 100 thick, sturdy pieces that are double-sided. Learn
about the inner workings of a goldfish as you assemble the detailed anatomy
side, learning from the large Anatomy Guide and Fun Fact Sheet as you go! Then
flip the pieces and put together the exterior side, to see how it appears in
nature. A fun, educational activity that the whole family can enjoy doing
together!
Note: All ages can participate, but younger kids will
likely find this puzzle challenging without help. One tip is that the anatomy
side of the goldfish has puzzle pieces that are slightly glossy while the
exterior side has a very matte finish. Laying them out as “all glossy” or “all
matte” will be very helpful at the start!
Publisher's Description of Goldfish Animal Anatomy Floor Puzzle (100 pieces)
Snap together a captivating carp with this Fantail Calico Goldfish puzzle. Domesticated in east Asian waters, Carassius auratus
showcases billowing caudal fins that give them their iconic fantail
shape. These eye-catching omnivores have been beautifying human spaces
for more than a millennia with their multi-colored, opalescent scales.
Make room to be amazed as the assembled 100 pieces span 48
inches! Soak up twice the learning in the double-sided Turn N Learn
puzzle series. Either arrange this fish's lustrous exterior as it
appears in aquariums or flip the pieces over to assemble its anatomy as
drawn by a Certified Medical Illustrator. Contextualize what you see
with the included fun fact sheet and anatomy guide.
These 100-piece, reversible floor puzzles are SO cool! Pick
which side to do first, the beautiful exterior of the animal or the
scientifically accurate inside anatomy. They are huge – around 4 feet each,
making the finished product even more fun to assemble and learn from! Artwork
is detailed and the colors are vivid and bright. If you have a glass table, you
can see both sides at once! Each animal includes an Anatomy Guide and Fun Fact
sheet to deepen your learning experience. When the fun is done, each puzzle
stores nicely away in the sturdy box with Velcro closure.
