Colin Thompson Christmas Cupboard Jigsaw Puzzle

I haven't finished the puzzle yet but good quality pieces and lovely picture

Ravensburger puzzles designed by Colin Thompson are entertaining and fun to do. Family and friends can't help themselves to join in putting in some pieces. The pictures are inventive and clever. The eye travels over the picture and enjoys all the details. Unbeatable.

Perfect jigsaw for family group activity on those quieter moments/lulls between meals. Helpful to be able to see most of the picture on the lid and also to have an extra smaller picture to hand. My 5 year old great niece managed a few pieces with help of her mum and dad, and majority kept my 54 year old brother and me busy for several days. As my bro said it appears deceptively easy but is more demanding than first thought! Will return to it next year I think and other Colin Thompson’s through the year.

Another lovely puzzle from Ravensburger - these puzzles are always excellent, with lovely clear graphics, bits which fit together perfectly and neatly, and a very enjoyable puzzling experience! My kids and I love the detail in these cupboard pictures, we love finding all the little hidden pics, and this made a nice change to the usual santa scene jigsaws which we have done in previous years.

Another terrific Colin Thompson design. He really knows how to create puzzle pictures that are satisfying from start to finish. Sections of like colour are always subtly different, so you don't end up frustrated by trying to fit a piece from the wrong part of the puzzle into the bit you're working on. The ravensburger quality is always dependable: pieces are beautifully cut, and each piece is a unique shape; they click satisfyingly into place. Reflection in artificial light is a bit of a problem despite the textured surface which is supposed to avoid that (hence the 4 stars as it makes quite a difference to doability with a large puzzle). It's not a matte finish. Schmidt seem to have cracked that problem rather better (though still not matte finish) but don't have these Thompson designs. This is an excellent addition to the cupboard/box series (5 stars for the picture), and nicely festive to do over Christmas.

A very good puzzle, and as another reviwer said - not as easy as it first seems. Excellent quality as usual from Ravensburger but be aware that this is a rehash of an earlier (non Christmas) puzzle with Christmas additions. However I still enjoyed it. The extra picture included is useful as I always do these with my son and it gives us both a copy of the picture.

Ravensburger puzzles, especially Colin Thompson/Curious Cupboard ones, are our Christmas favourites. Once again this proved a treat. Fantastic quality puzzle, and a delightfully challenging design by the artist with fun quirks to make us smirk. We will do this puzzle one more time this year when we visit my parents - who are also puzzle lovers. And then we'll look forward to another: please keep them coming, Ravensburger/Mr Thompson!

I loved doing it but it certainly is the most difficult of the Curious Cupboards that I have done so far. From a wonderful series of puzzles and I intend to buy and do them all. I love the artists work - Colin Thompson.

Just completed this Colin Thompson puzzle and again amazed at the talent of this individual. Puzzle was very challenging and loads of enjoyment. I'm sure anyone will have hours of fun with this one. Thank you. Ravensburger pieces are top quality.

Bastante difícil pero divertido.

Ein wunderschönes, stimmiges Weihnachtspuzzle von Colin Thompson! Aufgrund der vielen - auch winzigen - Details entsteht ein harmonisches, humorvolles Gesamtbild. Wegen der kleinsten Einheiten, die zusammen zu fügen sind, ist es mir ein bißchen schwerer gefallen, das große Ganze zu finden. Design von Colin Thompson macht immer viel Freude!

Such a lovely puzzle for Christmas. It was so different from the usual images in the United States. Odd little whatnots are everywhere and so many of them don't jive with the typical Santa, reindeer, trees and wrapped presents I'm used to seeing. It was a good challenge, but not excessively frustrating either. And, of course, there's the usual high quality ravensburger pieces to work with. This puzzle was a terrific option for my family and we all look forward to doing it again another year.

Super ! Dans le genre "mais où est donc Charlie" des tas de mini détails de partout J'ai adoré ! Belle qualité, belles couleurs Une façon totalement différente de construire : après le cadre, on dépose les pièces, une par une, avec modèle obligatoire, à leur future place approximative puis ça finit par s'accrocher... Je recommande aux amateurs de puzzles
