Springbok Garden Helper Puzzle 36pc

My mom is almost 87. She has dementia and vision difficulties, both of which contribute to a limited attention span. I had seen this line of puzzles at her adult daycare and was intrigued by its' simplicity and colorful detail. I purchased this particular puzzle for home and was thrilled at how enthusiastically mom put it together. As an added bonus, she made friends with the kitty much like one of her stuffed animals. We left the finished puzzle on the table for 2 days. When I suggested that it should be put back in the box she replied, "oh how I hate to say good-bye to that precious kitty." I think the next time she puts it together I will use some mod podge on it and frame it. That way she'll have her precious kitty always. Great artistry, great construction and thanks Springbok for your commitment to ALL puzzle lovers, especially our declining seniors!!

"Great puzzle! My 89 year old Mother has severe macular degeneration and hasn't been able to do puzzles or word games anymore. These puzzles are wonderful for her! They are challenging, but do-able. She loved the cat's large eyes! She can knock them out in a few hours. She uses her sight, glasses, and magnifiers, in addition to feeling the pieces to put them into place. Wishes for low vision customers: 1. Include an actual size poster with these puzzles 2. It would be nice if the puzzle pieces ""connectors"" (we call them outies) could be different sizes or shapes as well."

Since the passing of my mother, who suffered with dementia, I wanted to find a way to thank fellow caregivers for their advice and encouragement in a local support group. "Garden Helper" is among the second order of puzzles I decided to give to these incredibly strong people caring for loved ones. After I gave puzzles from my first order to members of the support group, I heard many positive anecdotes of success and enjoyment. My hope is that caregivers will enjoy sharing this second set of puzzles with their loved ones. Thank you for continuing to produce puzzles in this extremely important series.

This puzzle was perfect for my parents! Nice big pieces for them to handle and the picture wasn't just a kid's picture. I would give this an A+ except I didn't like that the box talked about Alzheimer's. I cut the picture out of the box and put the pieces in a freezer bag. I will be purchasing more of these puzzles. Thank you!

"Just finished this puzzle and it is a hard one but the result is an adorable cat with big green eyes. Thanks for making so many beautiful puzzles to piece together."
