Only 250 pieces, just enough for a fun hour or so – perfect! This was another thrift store puzzle we thought we might give my honorary grandson, but after seeing the pieces I think they may be too small for him just yet. He has excellent fine motor skills for an almost 4 year old, but I think this puzzle might be more frustrating than anything else, so I’ll hold off on giving it to him for now.

Excellent puzzle from Remarks, pieces fit together really well and we had a great time putting it together. The image quality was amazing and the colors were really sharp and beautiful. Awesome quality from Remarks, the best I’ve had so far.

We should try to find more 250 piece puzzles, this was fun!!

I love coffee and I love jigsaws, so put the two together and it’s a great combination. This was a thrift store purchase, and the first Remarks puzzle that I assembled.

The quality of the pieces was quite good, although as you can see the finish was somewhat shiny causing glare under lights. The piece shapes were random, not a plain grid cut which made for a nice variety of shapes and a fun assembly. The piece were about average thickness, but were compact and sturdy; and the image quality was excellent. There was also a poster included in the box – added bonus!

I always love getting a thrift store puzzle finished and seeing that all the pieces are present and accounted for. It’s even more satisfying when the assembly is enjoyable and you’ve only spent 99 cents!

I love collages, and I love having lots of words to put together – perfect puzzle for me! This is a Re-marks puzzle, which has pieces somewhat thinner than Ravensburger, but they are sturdy pieces with very nice image detail. They have a somewhat shiny finish which can cause some glare as you can see in the lower left corner, but the pieces fit together very well. This was a nice easy puzzle to work on after finishing Snow White.

Cinderella is now sorted and I hope to be able to start working on it tomorrow evening!
