Wildlife 33,600 piece puzzle turned into a stop motion video

"Wildlife" is a very big jigsaw puzzle, clocking in at 33,600 pieces.  It is one of  the largest jigsaw puzzles in the world, and is manufactured by Educa. But if you think it's hard enough to do on its own, imagine turning it into a stop motion movie of classic video games while you assemble it.

This video turns each quarter of the puzzle into an active game of Tetris, Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Mario. Took over 400 hours to assemble and 400 hours to do the stop motion.
Wow!  This is certainly amazing.

EDUCA piece replacement service

Did you know that if you lose a piece of your EDUCA jigsaw you can simply email them and they will send you the replacement piece? What a fantastic service!
Just go to their website, (www.educcaborras.com) and complete the form. They identify the puzzle by the 11 digit code on the box, and this is required to identify the exact puzzle. You then identify the missing pieces by counting the pieces up and across and quoting this.
So, remember to keep the box from EDUCA puzzles just in case a piece disappears!

New Educa jigsaws

We have just received a shipment of new Educa puzzles. Educa puzzles have been manufactured in Barcelona, Spain for over 20 years, and are very high quality jigsaws. Their puzzles are made using ‘green and blue board’, a thick high quality paperboard which ensures a perfect fit between pieces, with very little puzzle dust. In addition, Educa puzzles come with sachets of puzzle glue included ready for gluing the completed puzzle! Amboseli National Park has magnificent colouring, and is just 1000 pieces.
London Bridge is also 1000 pieces, but it glows in the dark for an extra treat when finished. Remember that puzzle glue is included!
