The Round Table Puzzles are ideal for groups or two or more! These circular puzzles have the top of the image in the center & the bottom of the image around the entire circle. Just as the Knights of the Round Table all had an equal seat around the table, everyone has an equal seat around the puzzle.
The Backyard Birds Version, created by Greg Giordano, features many typical backyard birds beautifully captured as they frolic amongst the long grass and flowering plants.
More on the Round Table Puzzle concept - Jigsaw puzzles are a timeless family tradition, but traditional puzzles present a problem to those working on them—typically only one person (the person building from the bottom of the puzzle) has a normal view of the puzzle image. People on the sides of the puzzle have to twist their necks to get a proper view. And for anyone at the top, their whole world is upside down. The Round Table Puzzles now eliminate this problem.
Its fun to pull out a challenging puzzle, but if more than one person is working on it, someone has to view the puzzle upside down, or from an awkward angle. The Round Table Puzzles fix that problem with a very simple solution: make every edge the front with a circular puzzle! All of the striking images build towards a sky-colored background right in the center of the puzzle. Beginning puzzlers will enjoy the Kids Editions with 50 jumbo pieces, while older children (and adults) will be challenged by the 500-1000 piece puzzles. The images are bright, vivid, and engaging a real unique treat for puzzlers everywhere!
