The instructions are pretty straight forward. Miss P followed the numbers and could put the puzzle together. You can see the concentration on her face. We decided to make this once our dinner was up and it was late. The slotted puzzle was amazing! The cuts were accurate and simple to fix, I was very impressed.

The only part that she couldn’t figure on her own was setting up the solar panel. I helped her set it up and we had a lengthy discussion on how it was supposed to work.
The solar panel connects via 2 wires to a small motor that powers the windmill.

The puzzle is made from pre-cut and scored foam boards that bend and lock perfectly to form the miniature windmill craft. Just look at how cute the little sofa looks. The attention to detail is amazing. from the chimney to the steps to the fence to the miniature bushes .. including a living room complete with a sofa, coffee table, carpet & TV had us giggling with excitement.

We can’t wait to try out all the other puzzles in this range. It sure can help kids enhance their focus, matching skills and creativity. Gets a 5 star rating for me. Yes! this particular piece was slightly expensive at 450 rs, but there are other models with lesser complexity and cost.
