SpringbokCrayola Colors of Kindness - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults - Made in USA

We enjoyed this as a family activity away from screens.

I love jigsaw puzzles and I've got my Mom and siblings hooked on them as well! Once I've finished a puzzle, I often let my family members borrow them, and Mom is always first in line. She loves puzzles with signs because they "give her a pattern to follow," and I KNOW she will love the Springbok "Crayola Colors of Kindness" 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle!The puzzle pieces were packed inside a plastic bag inside the 2-piece box and the box was also wrapped in plastic. Springbok does not include a poster of the finished puzzle so you will want to keep the box lid available to consult the only image as you work! I appreciate that the image on the box lid is clear and has no obstructions, so I am not bothered by the fact that no other image is included.Here are my thoughts and observations:100% made in the USA!Minimal puzzle dust!No missing pieces, but if that happens, they have a guarantee.No bent, broken, or peeling pieces!Pieces are thick and sturdy, each with a unique shape, and all pieces are consistent in thickness and quality.Various shapes and sizes help make this 500-piece puzzle a bit more challenging and loads of fun! I love it!The pieces are cleanly and precisely cut.Also, what appears to be an edge piece may not be! But this adds to the fun, and makes it more challenging! Just consult the image on the box cover, and keep a "maybe, maybe not" pile of questionable pieces or if you are in doubt. it's quite satisfying to see how the unique pieces fit together!Another great thing is that the fit is obvious, no wondering if you've placed a piece in the wrong location! The pieces fit and lock together without question.In summary, I really enjoyed this "Crayola Colors of Kindness" puzzle and will definitely continue to purchase Springbok puzzles for myself and as gifts.5 stars and recommended!

This puzzle is stunning in person! My mom has been doing puzzles for years and absolutely LOVES doing them, so I’ve since gotten her several from Amazon. As is always the case, some of them have been of much higher quality than others, and this one is one of the best! The colors are very vibrant, the pieces are of excellent quality and are uniquely shaped, and they fit together securely.She works on her puzzles throughout the day almost every day, so she goes through them pretty quickly, so she’s definitely come across a few that were of much lower quality than others. There’s a a poster-sized insert included in the box so you see the details more clearly, which she finds essential, especially with more difficult puzzles. She’s gotten a few where the insert was super small, about the size of a post card, which was absolutely useless - you can barely see anything on those, never mind the smaller details. She actually tried using a magnifying glass in the hopes that it would help her see the overall pattern/detail/color placement better if the image was bigger, but that didn’t help at all.She’s also found that with some lower quality puzzles, the pieces sometimes sort of peel apart - the overlay of the picture lifted up from the rest of the pieces very easily. Another frustrating problem she’s encountered has been when all the pieces were very small and VERY similar in shape, so pretty much any piece would fit anywhere, even if it’s wrong. Thankfully, none of those issues apply to this puzzle!The overall size of the finished puzzle isn’t overly big, as can be the case for some with 1000+ pieces - it fits perfectly on her puzzle board. She’s really enjoying every aspect of this puzzle, and she very highly recommends it!!

The first thing you'll notice when you open up the bag containing the puzzle pieces is how big those puzzle pieces are. They are probably 1 1/2 - 2 times the size of regular puzzle pieces. That makes them easier to see and somewhat easier to assemble. The reason it's only somewhat easier to assemble is because the puzzle pieces are thicker than regular puzzle pieces. On the plus side, that makes them sturdier and they should last longer. On the minus side, it makes them somewhat harder to put in. There were quite a number of times that I thought I found the puzzle piece I was looking for, and I had, but the fit wasn't great. You can see in the 2 close up pictures of the puzzle how the pieces stand out.The colors are nice and the messages are great - especially in these crazy times. This puzzle is relatively simple to put together and can be enjoyed from younger kids (say 9-10 and up) up to the elderly (who will appreciate the larger pieces).Enjoy!

The box on the website had the entire picture of the puzzle but the box that arrived had three large advertisements in the corners so you couldn’t see the entire picture. There was no picture inside either so you had to guess what the puzzle picture looked like. Additionally, the cut quality of this puzzle was terrible and not like the other Springbok puzzles we own. If this is the quality Springbok has lowered themselves to then it is the last time I will buy a Springbok brand puzzle.

I just love this as it is!! Very vibrant coloring and not to too hard to solve. 5/5 definite
