In this series of CDs there are 5 different photos which have been converted to jigsaws of
12, 24, 40, 104 and 260 pieces each, making a total of 25 jigsaw puzzles per CD.
- This range of puzzles can be used by children with different skill levels. The jigsaws are great for hand and eye coordination and the colourful photographs present a more realistic view of the world.
- Jigsaw puzzles are easy to do with the click of a mouse button and can be played over and over. Suitable for adults as well! A real family activity.
- There's an audible click when pieces are placed in the correct position and the player is congratulated when the jigsaw puzzle is complete. Best of all you can't lose the pieces.
- Puzzles are not printable, they're designed to be used on a computer or laptop or even on a large screen via a data projector.
- Great for taking away on holidays, particularly to play in the car while travelling or in the tent or caravan on rainy days.
- Internet access is not required but it's handy to research some of the places in or subjects of the puzzles. A true learning resource.
