MudPuppy Little Scientist 500 Piece Family Puzzle

Nos gustó mucho. El rompecabezas es de buena calidad, las piezas emboban fácilmente y el diseño de mosaico facilita su armado. Sin mencionar la oportunidad de que los niños conozcan a estos personajes y sus aportaciones a la ciencia.

We bought this because we have the Little Feminist puzzle, also by Mudpuppy. I love the concept and talking about these scientists. Just two complaints:1) the quality of the puzzle has decreased significantly, with flimsier pieces that don't interlock as cleanly. I prefer Ravensburger puzzles, but had been so happy with the Little Feminists, that I purchased this one. The pieces are hard to "click" together and also take apart, leading to more bent pieces.2) the names of the scientists are not on each piece, so harder for the kids to learn who is who. Again, this was a feature on the Little Feminist puzzle I thought would be repeated, but it was not.

My kids have really gotten into puzzles. They particularly enjoyed this one because they love learning about science. It was a great conversation starter for our family. They didn’t just complete the puzzle. They were asking questions along the way. “Who is that?” “What does that word mean?” They were making connections between the different sciences and started talking about why or why not that would be a “fun” job to do.

I really like this puzzle manufacturer. We have another puzzle by this company and it is also well made with bright, striking colors and sturdy pieces. I also like the educational aspect of this puzzle since it features the names and faces of scientists. You can extend the learning by researching one or more scientist to find out more about their life. Great way to spend a few hours or days on a well made puzzle.

500 pieces is perfect for my kids and me to work on together. The size of the pieces is perfect- not too small or intimidating. Great, quality puzzles! Our go-to brand.
