USA SHAPED: This 31 inch-long puzzle has a vintage feel and includes iconic symbols from each state in the contiguous USA. Each puzzle is made with a special 1,000 piece die in the shape of America and is proudly produced in the USA. The pieces have many unique shapes and sizes to keep it interesting. DECORATIVE WALL ART: Any puzzle enthusiast will enjoy the challenge of assembling this puzzle, and many frame the completed puzzle to hang on the wall because of its large size (31 inches from coast to coast) and the unique shape. Hang it in the game room, workshop, garage or bar for an opportunity to brag about your mad puzzle skills. BENEFITS OF PUZZLING : Puzzles are more than just a favorite past time or a way to spend an afternoon. Puzzles require patience and improve problem solving skills. They teach delayed gratification as you are only rewarded with a completed puzzle after you have stuck-to-it and overcome many small challenges. Jigsaw puzzles also enhance your fine-motor, visual, social, and cognitive skills. Assembling puzzles is a wonderful indoor activity for adults and children alike. BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER: Gather the kids and the grownups around the table, and enjoy the conversation surrounding each state and region of the country. A wonderful gift or activity for the Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday. TDC GAMES: Making the world’s zaniest party games and exceptional puzzles since 1984.
