Simple Joys Puzzle - 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

These puzzles are more difficult than expected. I was looking for something challenging for my kids who are avid puzzlers, but these really test even my patience. The mourning cloak butterfly is so low-contrast that it is very, very difficult to see what you’re trying to put together. It’s hard to overcome the frustration of not having a clear reference picture to compare pieces to.

It needs a larger reference photo on the container and slightly larger puzzle piece size.

The only issue is that the pieces have to be arranged and shaken down *just so* when putting away or the container won’t close. The piece size is good, and they are challenging but manageable puzzles for kids/ adults without being a huge time commitment. Brought them to Great-Grandma’s house for a quiet activity to do together and this set was great for that purpose.

The pieces are thick and will last for years!

The puzzle was a fun challenge and showed us a beautiful picture!

All the black pieces blend together and there is no part to differentiate them. My son was helping me and told me this puzzle is awful.
