The Best Jigsaw For KIds From Cars 2

Kids….Summer holidays…keeping them busy…AAARGH!
Yes, it’s that time of year where our little angels need to be kept entertained full time. On the one hand, it’s brilliant to spend so much time with them, on the other, it can be a little trying to occupy them without resorting to the TV.
I have always been a fan of jigsaws, and the appeal is possibly down to being able to get on with other bits when the little ones are piecing together a puzzle.
The incentive is in seeing the end result, I guess. Seeing the picture in full is always a delight.
However, the Cars 2 jigsaw from games and puzzle experts, Jumbo Toys is an another level. The 48 piece giant puzzle when completed reveals a race track for the wind up cars to whizz around!
I trialled this with my two boys, both big Cars fans. When they realised there was a working race track when the puzzle was completed, they worked together (a rare thing!) to get it done.
I let them have a play and then, rather cruelly, I dismantled it in front of them (Haaa!). They didn’t mind (promise) and enjoyed putting it back together again.
Disney Pixar Cars Wiz Around Musical Floor Puzzle is a work of genius. As a jigsaw, it’s very good. A nice engaging image on chunky pieces. As a jigsaw for kids, it is in a different league - the incentive to complete it will appeal to any age.
The best jigsaw for kids, and maybe the best spin off from Cars 2.
