How to use
Open the box and sort pieces by edge and colour to simplify assembly. Start by constructing the border using the edge pieces, then group interior pieces by colour, pattern and identifiable elements such as cars, screen and skyline. Work gradually from large, distinct areas toward smaller details until all pieces are placed. For mounting or display, use puzzle glue or a frame sized to the finished dimensions; follow the glue manufacturer's instructions for even application and drying time.
Usage recommendations
Assemble on a flat, stable surface slightly larger than 676 × 489 mm to avoid losing pieces. Keep pieces away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve image colours. For shared or educational use, supervise younger children to avoid accidental swallowing of pieces and to support collaborative sorting and assembly.
