CLOSED: Puzzles Rule at Galison/Mudpuppy (+BTS Giveaway #18)

This post is a 'Back To School 2010 Carnival' feature on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports.

Galison/Mudpuppy have great gifts for your little school go-er but nothing stands out to me more than their collection of puzzles. They have block puzzles, color me puzzles, two sided puzzles, floor puzzles, first puzzles and the ones we love...the 63 piece puzzles.

We picked the Around the World 63 piece puzzle to review.

Now I know the box says this is age appropriate for a 6 year old but I say a 4 year old who loves puzzles can do this without any hiccups ...but just a little help.

Bunny girl has worked on this puzzle three times already and I can already see she doesn't ned as much help as she did the first time around.

I know the suggested way to work on a puzzle is by starting with the edges but Bunny girl prefers to work around a part of any picture she picks off the box and so far that method has worked mighty fine for her.

I'm hoping my little Bunny Boo will love puzzles as much as his big sister does. (You can see his little feet right? He enjoyed watching the colors come together on the carpet!)

Ta-dah!

This is a very inexpensive puzzle that would make a great educational gift for a preschool/kindergarten/first grade child especially as the world map also highlights important monuments, country specific animals and cultural depictions. (For instance, you will spot a picture of the Sphinx in Africa.)

The finished puzzle measures 18 x 14" and is printed with non toxic soy based inks. The Around the World 63 piece puzzle won the 2008 iparenting excellent product award and honestly it deserves every bit of that award!

You will find that Galison/Mudpuppy carries more great award winning educational gifts that will challenge but yet be enjoyed by any child.
