You can’t beat a good puzzle, and the kids and I have been having fun with a new range of Discovery Dinosaur puzzles each with 150 pieces.
These Dinosaur Puzzles, made by Kidicraft, are from the Discovery range of 3D effect puzzles which are manufactured using new Prime 3D lenses to give greater depth and motion to the images.
The 3D style really is effective, they felt as if the dinosaurs were really coming out of the jigsaws! And it also adds a little more challenge to completing the puzzles as it’s a style we haven’t tried before.
The level of detail in the images, like the textures of the dinosaurs skins, is fantastic. The images are very realistic, with beautiful subtle colours and look brilliant once completed.
Dinosaurs are always a popular choice, and these are no exception with Velociraptor, T-Rex and Triceratops varieties available. This is a theme that appeals to all of the kids in my house, and I find with jigsaws like this they really are age-less especially if you work together to complete them. So although recommended as 5+, my 3 year old was able to take part with help, and likewise my boys are quite a bit older at 8, 10 and 11 – but still not too old to spend some time completing these!
During the lockdown, Jigsaw puzzles have been flying off the shelves – even selling out in some stores, and I can understand why as they are such a good way to keep the family occupied together, work as a team and get a bit of calm and quiet as a family!
When completed, the size of these puzzles is 46 cm x 31 cm (18″ x 12″) each, and each one is 150 pieces.

My life hasn’t changed a lot as I work for the NHS, only difference I have to work the bank holidays now! I’ve always shied away from social gatherings and shopping, so life just continues as usual, avoiding people as much as possible, as usual!
We have been doing lots of wildlife puzzles – we have one going with 2000 pieces at the moment – a farm scene!
Dinosaurs :- The children are just so interested in dinosaurs. Doing our best to keep occupied with a variety of activities indoors. These jigsaw puzzles would be great for occupying us all, would encourage us to share facts we know about the various dinosaurs.

Struggling a little but trying to be creative to find new things to do to pass the time
The puzzles look great, I think my niece would like them. I’m still working at Royal Mail but the rest of the time is spent at home, reading, watching television and playing backgammon.
Its a struggle, 3 young children cooped up in a house, they all want to play something different and they are missing the friendships school brings
We’re doing ok so far, kids are doing well with homeschooling. Fingers crossed it lasts lol
We are doing OK. My daughter is struggling a little, as there’s no routine or structure that she gets when she’s at school. We are however enjoying putting the music channel on and singing and dancing. Music is the best medicine!
My granddaughter would love these puzzles. We keep in contact via Facetime, and my daughter has also created a family What’sApp group so we get to talk to everyone, but it’s still hard to see videos of our granddaughter and not be able to be with her.

I can keep myself amused in lockdown but what I can’t cope with is not seeing and cuddling my grandchildren, the older ones understand but the babies don’t
These puzzles would be great lockdown activities for the grandchildren, especially my grandson whose two passions are jigsaws and dinosaurs. We’re coping quite well with the lockdown – the hardest part is not seeing the grandchildren.
Was doing fine until last week, struggling a bit but keeping a routine is helping us all stay focused.

I love doing jigsaws and my son loves to help me. He is the best at sorting the pieces into colours. We would love to have a go at these together. We havent been doing too badly in lockdown he has turned more into a recluse lol. we have found hedgehogs in the garden on a night listened to an owl and found out which owl by the sound it was making. It was a Tawny Owl. We have downloaded a new app for the stars so we point it at the stars and it tells you what you are looking at. Hubby swore it was the north star my son said jupiter and i guessed Mars turned out to be Venus lol 😀 Wrong planet but i new it was a planet. Building dens and doing puzzles plus the new disney plus app kept us busy ish.
We’re doing ok but starting to crave our own space as our house is only small. I’ve been swapping puzzles with others in the village via our local book swap so I’ve had something new to focus on.
