Looking for a fun, screen-free activity for the family? This Mudpuppy Songbirds puzzle is a beautiful choice. It's 500 pieces, which is a great challenge for older kids (8+) and adults, but not so overwhelming it's frustrating. The image is a colorful collage of all kinds of songbirds – cardinals, tanagers, finches, sparrows – it's really pretty. The pieces are thick, sturdy, and have a glossy finish that makes the colors pop and are easy to handle. There's almost no puzzle dust, which is nice. When finished, it measures 22 inches by 22 inches – a good size for most tables. The box is sturdy for storage too. Mudpuppy is a great brand; they use non-toxic inks and their puzzles are made with 90% recycled paper, so you can feel good about that. It's a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, great for improving focus and memory, and you end up with a lovely piece of art you could even frame. Perfect for bird watchers, puzzle enthusiasts, or just a rainy day activity.
