JvH Junior #20, L'art de la pâte à modeler (150 pcs)

Around a big wooden table, craft time is in full swing: two kids and an adult, hands covered in colorful modeling clay, shape little characters and creatures while a dalmatian and a black-and-white cat weave between the chairs. On the wall, their drawings show a spotted mushroom, a blue dolphin, and a funny purple creature - and sure enough, a giant purple octopus seems to be reaching in through the window to check out the scene, a nod to the absurd humor that is this collection's trademark. Buckets of paint and colorful clay sit scattered on the floor, ready for the next creation. This twentieth entry in the JvH Junior collection serves up a colorful, cozy craft afternoon packed with silly little details to spot piece by piece.

Designed for kids age 5 and up, this 150-piece puzzle uses bigger pieces than the adult puzzles in the line, making assembly easy and satisfying right from the first few minutes. It is part of a fun Junior series that recreates, with larger pieces, the collection's trademark world crammed with silly details: there is always something absurd to spot in every image, here a giant octopus determined to crash the craft session.

The busy, humor-packed scenes in this series carry the signature of Dutch illustrator Jan van Haasteren, known for chaotic tableaus where every corner hides a visual gag. The Junior line introduces younger puzzlers to his world before they move on, later, to the collection's classic puzzles. This puzzle is published by manufacturer Jumbo.
