 So if you've read my blog for a few years you might remember that I was not much of a fan back then. I found them boring and well I have to admit now that I actually really enjoy them. I have found peace with them and feel calmness as well as it being something the whole family can join in on together . The past year we've progressed from the smaller puzzles to the larger ones challenging our concentration and eye coordination skills and well now we're enjoying the wonderful 3D puzzles that are now appearing around my home one by one like ornaments . Last month we were sent the 3D Volkswagen from Ravensburger and I knew instantly this would be a project for my husband who is mad about all vehicle related things .  On opening the box , we found that the base of the vehicle and the roof was already made of full sheeting and wheels with an added touch of a surf board on top of the roof .  I'm finding the 3D puzzles are rather exciting . I love that you can display them on a shelf or in a unit and this one even has an added bonus, it rolls . Yes the wheels actually work fully. I have to say the excitement was a little over the top for a puzzle but it made it all the more fun and in less than an hour it was built and we were rolling it (rather carefully) across the sitting room floor , acting proudly of the display we had built . You can see the joins, its not perfect but I like that you can see its been made and the imperfections of alignment give its personality just like any other vehicle has .   This puzzle was not a large one and like I have said previously only took less than an hour to build but it was a great break time activity that would have been great for taking with us on our own camping holiday later in the year with only 162 pieces. The Volkswagen is only £19.00 to buy and there are so many other wonderful 3D options to choose from , keep an eye out on my next post sharing you the delights of the 3D Disney Castle which we are very excited about.  Have you given the Ravensburger 3D puzzles a try yet?
I would love to know what your favorite type of puzzle is in the comments below .

What an awesome looking puzzle, I love the fact it is 3D as well that really adds an extra level to the puzzle I would love to give it a try myself sometime. 7/7/2017 07:43:41 am
For years now, I've been debating whether to try out one of the Ravensburger puzzles... But the fact that there's now a VW campervan one makes me think it's about time I do!

Oh this is pretty cool isn't it! I don't think I've ever given a 3D puzzle a go ever since I got extremely stressed out with a huge globe one I had when I was little. My younger cousin knocked it down when we we're half way through - it was tragic haha! 7/7/2017 11:08:29 am
What an amazing puzzle! My nephew loves his puzzles so I'm sure he would love this! x 7/7/2017 12:09:53 pm
What a great looking puzzle, I used to hate puzzles when I was younger, but my Daughter used to love doing them and I found my love for them again through her. I have not yet been brave enough to try a 3D puzzle but this one looks really good x 7/7/2017 05:00:13 pm
My father in law would like this. He would enjoy doing this in the evening while watching some war film. xx 8/7/2017 01:26:57 am

Wow! I can't believe that is a puzzle. That would be a great gift for canpervan lovers. 9/7/2017 10:44:51 am
That's pretty cool! We've never seen a 3D puzzle assembled like that in a shape of a van x Make a good model for a collection too! 9/7/2017 09:14:50 pm
I love the finished look! I have never seen a 3D puzzle like this before...I have seen the stacked ones but not like normal puzzle pieces. I am so impressed. Definitely one for the Christmas list :) Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
