How to use

Open the box and spread out the pieces on a flat, well-lit surface large enough for the assembled puzzle. Begin by separating edge pieces from interior pieces, sort by color and pattern to identify key areas in the illustration, and assemble the border first to create a framework. Work on distinct zones of the image using the illustration details as guides; join assembled sections into larger areas until the complete forest scene is finished. No adhesives are required for assembly; if you plan to frame or display the finished puzzle, use a suitable puzzle glue and follow the glue manufacturer’s instructions.

Usage recommendations

Choose a clean, stable table surface and allow uninterrupted time blocks for assembly. Store unused pieces in the original box or in resealable containers to avoid loss. For long-term display, apply a thin, even layer of puzzle adhesive and mount the finished puzzle on a rigid backing before framing.
