Santa's Toy Shop Jigsaw Puzzle 

There's a load of colour in this Santas Toy Shop jigsaw puzzle. Just a perfect delight for the Christmas Season! It is very nice to see all the vintage toys surrounding Santa and the children. I know I would be the one to pick out that old vintage car that sits at the top of the shelf above Santa. The big gum-ball machine looks pretty attractive too. I would likely pass on the teddy bear he is trying to give to the children.

Santas-Toy-Shop Jigsaw Puzzle Assembly.....

I did my usual sorting routine with this one. I sorted the colors as best I could into piles then did an additional color sort as I laid all the pieces out onto the foam board. The border went together really well.

I started with the blue window area and wreath. I tried to work the white areas such as Santa and the horse head on the bottom right. I basically had to put little color areas together on the foam boards, then tie the sections into place.

The individual puzzle pieces seemed muted - such as, the children's hats were quite blurry but once they were in place it formed the hats very prettily. That happened in several areas of the image.
