As our next puzzle as part of Ravensburger Puzzle
Club, we were sent the 100 piece London Children’s Map Puzzle to complete.
Now my kids love London, and especially with all the
upcoming celebrations for the Queens Jubilee and the Olympics, they have become
really interested in the sights and landmarks. This puzzle comes complete with
an information leaflet, which is perfect for the kids.
Building the actual jigsaw, as with all Ravensburger
Puzzles, this is made with Ravensburger love. Handmade cutting tools ensure
that no two pieces are alike, the pieces are made from grained material which
provides a glare free picture. The pieces are made form special
recycled board but they are so sturdy and strong and despite
my boisterous 9 year old who has autism and adhd, we haven’t had one
broken piece yet on all the puzzles we have bought or reviewed.
Starting the Puzzle, the kids were keen to match up the
numbers and letters on the side of the puzzle, a great way to get the kids
using some maths and english skills without even realising! These coordinates
make the outline to the puzzle.
Then was the task of filling the puzzle in. The kids were
keen to do with by landmarks they first recognised and have visited.
So first up was Regents Park and Hyde Park. Then came London Eye and
Tower Bridge.
The puzzle is adorned with beautiful illustrations by Guy
Fox. These include some little details which if you look closely at will take
you ages as you keep finding something new!
The kids took a good hour completing this, and were happy to
work together. They have mentally created a list of where to visit next time we
go to London! The leaflet included has provided a great way for the kids to
match up the different illustrations as well as provide us some bonding time as
they ask about my experiences of the City.
This has been our favourite Ravensburger Puzzle so far, we LOVE
it!
