This handsomely crafted 81-piece wooden jigsaw puzzle comes with its own DIY frame so that youngsters can proudly display the impressive results of their handiwork long after the puzzle has been completed. The finished scene shows a lovely mermaid princess napping contentedly beneath the sea surrounded by friendly marine life, her long, beautiful tresses flowing dreamily in the aquatic currents. The imagination-stirring imagery serves as a template to replicate (an illustration is included) and also as a strong motivator that keeps kids excitedly focused on completing the fun project. Each laser-cut wooden piece is a unique shape, many with such a fine level of detail that the hunt for its proper place in the puzzle is an adventure unto itself. Once complete, mounting the puzzle prettily to its frame is a simple matter due to the inclusion of an easy-to-follow instructional diagram and all the necessary materials.
