“Boy’s Fun” Summer Camp Puzzle from Bits & Pieces Review

9:31 am By Canadian Puzzler Leave a Comment

summer puzzle

Puzzle Company: Bits and Pieces
Number of pieces: 500
Completed size: 18×24 inches
Puzzle Artist: Kay Lamb Shannon
Puzzle Pieces: larger “500 piece” size, grid cut (average size 1.2 inch)
Overall Puzzle score 8.0

Notes: “I absolutely adored the summer vibes and camping adventures depicted in this puzzle by artist Kay Lamb Shannon. The cute images of summer camp life by the lake—fishing, swimming, swinging, and climbing trees to reach the clubhouse—brought back all kinds nostalgic memories. It felt like I was reliving those lazy summer days at the cottage or by the swimming hole at camp with my friends and family while putting together this delightful puzzle. Highly recommend!

I’ve garnered quite the collection of Bits and Pieces puzzles. While they may not boast the same quality as Cobble Hill or Ravensburger, and lack the convenience of a poster, their consistently well-done images and choice of talented artists always draw me back in. For me, the image itself is just as crucial, if not more so, than the puzzle piece quality.

I was so happy with Autumn Memories, another puzzle from the “Days to Remember” puzzle series from Buffalo Games! This is one of several puzzles from the series I have completed over the past few weeks. This was a great transition puzzle to do from summer into fall. George Kovach did the beautiful images in this puzzle. It features an early evening scene by the water’s edge. There is a cozy inn, with a fire lit inside. People line the edge along the docks, looking at the night sky or hopeful fishermen by the row of red canoes. There is a full moon in the dark blue sky and cars park outside the local inn and bar. People gather here to spend time together one last time before heading home for the season.
