This product contains small pieces that could pose a choking hazard. Keep all puzzle pieces away from young children and pets. Adult supervision is recommended when children are assembling the puzzle.
3. Setup and Preparation
- Choose a Suitable Workspace: Select a flat, stable surface large enough to accommodate the completed puzzle (approximately 26.89 x 18.9 inches or 68.3 x 48 cm). A puzzle mat or a large board can be helpful for portability.
- Ensure Good Lighting: Adequate lighting will help in distinguishing colors and details of the puzzle pieces.
- Unpack the Puzzle: Carefully open the puzzle box and empty all pieces onto your chosen workspace.
- Sort the Pieces:
- Separate all edge pieces from the interior pieces. Edge pieces typically have one flat side.
- Sort interior pieces by color, pattern, or distinct features. This will make assembly easier.

4. Puzzle Assembly Instructions
- Build the Border: Begin by assembling the frame of the puzzle using the sorted edge pieces. Refer to the image on the puzzle box for guidance.
- Work on Distinct Sections: After the border is complete, focus on areas with unique colors, patterns, or characters. Use your sorted piles to find matching pieces.
- Connect Pieces: Gently fit pieces together. If a piece does not fit easily, do not force it, as this can damage the piece. Look for alternative connections.
- Refer to the Box Image: The image on the puzzle box serves as your primary reference. Keep it visible throughout the assembly process.
- Enjoy the Process: Take breaks as needed. Jigsaw puzzling is a relaxing activity, and patience is key.

5. Care and Maintenance
- Storage: When not in use, store the puzzle pieces in their original box or a dedicated puzzle storage container to prevent loss or damage. Keep the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Cleaning: If pieces become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the puzzle's finish.
- Handling: Handle pieces carefully to prevent bending or tearing. Avoid excessive force when connecting pieces.
- Preservation (Optional): For completed puzzles you wish to display, consider using a puzzle glue or frame kit to permanently secure the pieces.
