Puzzling my way through lockdown.

For somebody who is a homebody like me, lockdown should have been simple. Apart from the homeschooling aspect of it, the only thing that changed for me is not being able to go shopping with Ant and J and not being able to visit the cinema a couple of times a week. 

Having lost one of my main sources of entertainment I looked for new hobbies and activities to do at home. I was gifted some crochet hooks so having ordered some wool I've been teaching myself how to crochet and making J a blanket. 

The other thing I have taken to is jigsaws. As many people will know I am a huge Disney fan and my favourite character happens to be the villain that is Ursula. So when scrolling through Amazon one day I came across the Ravensburger 15027 Disney Villainous Ursula 1000pc jigsaw and had to have it. 

The Ravensburger Villainous puzzles are made up of a selection of frames featuring images from the movie the villain featured in. All the main characters from Ariel, Eric, Flounder and Sebastian have their own frames and there are extra details such as Ursula's Garden of Souls and plenty of Ursula action. 

As you would expect from such a big name like Ravensburger the picture quality is brilliant and the pieces were of a nice substantial thickness meaning they didn't bend or damage if placed in the wrong position, which wasn't very often due to Ravensburger's precision click. 

The puzzle took me about a day and a half to complete and I was really happy with the finished result. When complete the jigsaw measures 70cm x 50cm, the perfect size to admire all the details. 



Puzzle Title: Ravensburger 15027 Disney Villainous Ursula
Piece Count: 1000
The price paid: £10.84
Time Taken To Complete: 1.5 days
Pro's: My favourite Disney film and villain, lots of details, good quality.
Con's: Box image showed an Ursula plaque which doesn't feature on the actual jigsaw which is standard for the Villainous puzzle range but I didn't realise when first completing.
Rating:  9/10
