United StatesSurprising!
This was a fun puzzle with a ton of school related whimsies and clever design!

I bought this puzzle because the image itself reminds me of well-illustrated kids' books from the 1970s. But then I was even more delighted to complete the puzzle. I enjoy all of Stumpcraft's puzzles and redo them often. Of all of them, this one ranks at the top (of the ones I have tried so far) - mostly because I loved the school and playground themed puzzle pieces and the inter-connectivity of the themed pieces.

I absolutely loved doing this puzzle! I was drawn to it like a magnet and was sorry when I got it finished. I am in the process of having it framed and plan to place it on a living room wall. The quality of the puzzle is A plus.
CanadaThe best puzzle
I bought it for my son's 7th birthday. He loved the puzzle, finished it pretty quickly and it was hard for him to stop working on the puzzle when it was time to go to bed. The best part of the puzzle is looking for unique pieces. Final product is simply a piece of art!
CanadaGreat Whimsies!
I loved this puzzle and the amazing cut, as with all their designs. Lots of interesting pieces creating larger whimsies. Artwork is colourful, beautiful and fun to see appear gradually.
