Rainbow colors on a decoratively patterned animal, so typical of these wooden puzzles. Still fun to do. I had this one on my lap at night, lamp caused odd shadows which I tried to correct using photoshop (you may see some artifacts of that). And the colors are kind of dull on the puzzle, that made it hard to get good pictures, too. I pushed the brightness some. The included ‘poster’ in this case is bigger than the actual puzzle, also brighter and more crisp. Quite a lot of the detail on the actual puzzle is dim and blurred, not easy to see clearly.
The whimsy shapes included fox, rabbit and cats (apologies this photo came out blurry)
four different octopuses, fish, dolphin and whale, a ghost (?), seahorse and crab. Why so many ocean creatures I don’t know. I like it better when the whimsy shapes are on a similar theme to the puzzle.
I didn’t notice until I flipped it over upon completion, that this one has the same type of regularly spaced whimsies and curly-hooked connection pieces as the Thanksgiving Puppy. I’ve heard tell that lots of these cheap wooden puzzles made in China are actually all produced by one company, then sold under different names/labels. I guess this proves that.
Smallest knob ever on this one. Also note that there’s something strange about this cat’s toes. And what’s that little blob under the end of the tail? I don’t know.
