...ere are also many different designs and shapes, and also there are now three dimensional and sculptural puzzles. After you choose the puzzle just right for you, it will be time to start putting it together and putting it together is half the fun. For example, after completing the next two steps the puzzle will be a one thousand piece ocean scene with a deep red sunset and two dolphins playing in the waves. Even before you start on the puzzle you need to have a large open space, like a table, or a section of plywood. Make sure it is not a place you will need in for a few days. It would also be helpful if it is something you can move out of the way. After you open the box, go through and get all the border pieces. An easy way to do this is to take a handful of pieces at a time and put all the center pieces into a separate pile.

Now you need to go back through all the pieces and put these into categories. For the scenery puzzle you should have three sections: the sky, the ocean, and the dolphins. You should be able to distinguish these pieces because of the color differences. Once you have divided the pieces into three sections you pick one pile and put the others aside to make more room. Take the pile and spread it out to where you can see all the pieces. Now, for this part you have to be on your own, fitting them together. There are tips for this, too, but it is mostly preference; such as going row by row, or fitting pieces together before you even put them in the puzzle. No matter how you work make sure it is fun and relaxing. Once you have one section done move on to the next. The best thi...
