Hello Kitty and Friends – RoseArt – approx. 125/500 pieces

Super cutesy images aren’t usually my thing, but these mini shaped puzzles were fun – and deceptively difficult at times. Enjoyment is the most important though, and I definitely got my money’s worth from these.

Let’s jump right in to learning about our newest friends…

Tuxedo Sam is a dapper young penguin from Antarctica’s Tuxedo Island. Sam owns 356 bowties, tends to overeat, and sometimes makes clumsy decisions (don’t we all though?). He is from a distinguished family, attended university in The United Kingdom, and speaks English very well. He also has two younger brothers, named Pam and Tam, who are doppelgangers of him; and his closest confidante is a seal named Chip.

It’s amazing how when I look at the completed puzzle it doesn’t seem like anything difficult at all. Assembling it was another matter altogether. I don’t look at the poster or the box when I’m assembling these mini puzzles, and my lack of familiarity with these characters meant I had no idea what the finished image was going to look like. This one was harder than it looks!

This is Keroppi, a frog friend of Hello Kitty. He enjoys swimming, baseball, playing with boomerangs, and singing. He lives with Pikki, his sister and Koroppi, his brother, his mother (a housewife and a professional chef), and his father (a doctor) in a house on the edge of Donut Pond.

This cute little guy wasn’t as difficult as some of his friends to assemble. Besides, I love frogs! 💚

This is a white rabbit named My Melody (often shortened to My Melo) and she is Hello Kitty’s best friend. She is an honest, good-natured girl whose favorite food is almond pound cake. Her birthday is January 18, and she was born in the magical forest of Mariland, home to many of her friends.

With basically just the colors pink and white, this took a little more time than you would think to assemble. Still, isn’t she cute?
