How to use

Work on a flat, well-lit surface and sort pieces by edge shapes and dominant colours to speed assembly. Start by building the border using corner and edge pieces, then progress by grouping internal colour areas and patterns from the animals scene. Fit pieces gently to avoid bending; if you plan to glue or frame the finished image, allow the assembled puzzle to rest on a firm base first.

Usage recommendations

For best results, assemble on a large table or puzzle mat and keep pieces in a shallow tray to prevent loss. Supervise younger participants and avoid small-piece access for children under the recommended age. If you intend to preserve the completed puzzle, use puzzle glue or mount it on a board and protect it from moisture and direct sunlight.
