Description

This colorful rendition of the U.S. measures 2' x 3'. Most of the states are separate pieces, but some of the smaller Northeastern states are grouped together. Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Alaska's island chain are included with the border instead of the corresponding state pieces. All pieces fit within the interlocking border. Each piece exhibits the state's name, capital, and pictures of famous landmarks, state flowers or birds, or other representative pictures.

Pieces are NOT state shaped!
The pieces are not state shaped. The front and the back of the box says "State Shaped Puzzle Pieces" and shows the state of California as a piece lifted from the puzzle, but NONE of the pieces are cut around the states. It is just a regular jigsaw puzzle.

Overall this is a very nice puzzle but not all states have their own pieces In New England there are two pieces with two states and another with four They didn't even try to make a piece for Hawaii; it's divided up into two pieces like the border pieces are Alaska's island chain and upper Michigan were included with the border rather than the state pieceIt is a nice puzzle and I'm looking forward to using it as my kids learn their states but I had been hoping that it would have a separate piece for each state
