They were pretty small, but the picture was very clear, so it wasn’t hard to figure out where they went. For me, the trouble with small pieces is that there isn’t enough of the picture on each one for me to figure out where it goes! The interesting thing was that the shadows make a bigger change of color than your brain actually realizes when you see the whole picture. For example, the right side of Chloe’s face is actually rather blue, but when you look at the picture you register it as a shadow and not as blue. So, here are all these blue pieces and you wonder where in the world they go! The other interesting thing was how much of their heads are covered in hair. We pay more attention to the faces, of course, so don’t notice the broad expanse of hair until met with a whole pile of pieces, all of which are obviously hair!
It was fun to put together and see their cute faces magically appear!!
Awww! Look how great that turned out! Were the pieces a manageable size? They looked pretty tiny when I saw them in the box…
