So cute! And very giftable.
I bought these as gifts, but they were so adorable I kept them for myself. The fish and the rose are fun and fairly straightforward (my nine-year-old son dispatched each in about 30 minutes); the durian is fiendishly difficult (his 45-year-old mother continues to struggle with it, days in). The pieces are cut in ingenious ways that actually made us laugh out loud!
Fun!
Used as a gift. It was really a hit! Love the size. Perfect for a little distraction in these trying times. They will be fun to put together!
