Rainforest Search & FInd Puzzle

Rainforest Search & Find Puzzle

Have you ever thought that you would like to walk through a rainforest? Have you ever wondered what types of animals and plants you would see? Rainforest Search & Find Puzzle is going to give you a glimpse of just that. Dress in your long sleeve shirt and long pants, grab your mosquito repellent, a hat, and some gorp and let's hit the trail.

This colorful puzzle is made up of 64 pieces and the finished puzzle measures 23" by 15 1/2". The pieces are large and have a little thickness to them, which is good for someone who has trouble picking up objects off of a flat surface.

 

Size and thickness of pieces.

 

Once the puzzle is assembled there are 40 items to locate in your rain forest. These animals and plants are shown around the edge of the puzzle, on the cover and back of the box, and on a field guide inside the box. Choose an item and search for it on the puzzle. Once you find it, go to the next. Keep searching and finding until you know a lot more about rainforests than you did to begin with.
