What our experts think

Our testers were very keen to get to work on this attractive and colourful jigsaw. Some of the children were a little overwhelmed by the number of pieces, but by using the picture included in the box for guidance, they felt confident to get started.
The puzzle includes facts about the solar system which is a great added educational bonus, and was an opportunity, for those who were able, to practise reading. This extra information also inspired lots of conversations among the children, great for developing their communication skills and building their vocabulary. As they pieced the jigsaw together, they were also developing their hand-eye coordination, fine motor, and problem solving skills. The children generally worked together as a team and persevered to reach the end goal – important life skills to develop.
The puzzle inspired some children to expand their play after it was complete, as they pretended to be astronauts and Star Wars characters. Others decided to count how many satellites and rockets they could see, or asked their friends if they could find certain details in the picture, developing their counting and observational skills.
