The breathtaking illustration gracing the surface of this 233-piece puzzle is rooted in traditional Eastern culture, with the overriding visual being representative of the Lion Dance commonly performed during the Chinese New Year and other cultural festivals. Upon closer inspection, the gorgeous imagery reveals an abundance of detailed artwork depicting activities relating to Chinese folk customs including flying kites, rowing dragon boats, walking on stilts and more. This is a shaped puzzle with curving contours rather than the long straight borders common to many jigsaw puzzles, a feature that enhances both the play and learning opportunities inherent in the assembly process. And because each piece is shaped differently, children naturally become increasingly able to maintain a keen focus and prolonged concentration as they progress, skills that go a long way towards confidently filling every space as completion of the puzzle comes to a close.
