Stargazing: Celestial Camp Out

Brand: Buffalo

Pieces: 750
Size:  61cm x 46cm

Product Code: 17504

I'm a bit short on time this morning so this is just going to be a quick post. I usually tend to do 1000 piece puzzles with the occasional 500 piece one mixed in (especially when I'm preparing for a competition). Very rarely, I do larger count ones like 1500 or 2000 pieces (but that's more because of space restrictions). 

And then every now and then, you get unusual counts like the one above - 750!

This puzzle design called to me, and the piece count was in no way a deterrent. It was actually interesting to do a puzzle which was between the usual piece counts that I usually do. It ended up being an okay size dimension-wise too, so that was a bonus. Have you got many 750 piece puzzles in your collection? Do you enjoy doing them?

How cute is this puzzle? 

If you have little ones who are interested in learning about famous scientists throughout history (or if you're a big kid like me who also wants to learn and appreciates cute imagery) then this puzzle is the perfect tool!

The design is cute, bright and accessible and highlights 16 influential scientists- both male and female- their fields and their achievements (obviously in a very basic way). The design entices the puzzle-doer to go out and further research the person and what they have achieved. While their names aren't featured on the puzzle image, they are provided in the box on a foldout poster. 

This puzzle was quick and fun to do and there are others of a similar style in the series. I feel like this is one I'll have to collect all of!
