{"product_id":"curious-little-monkey-wooden-puzzle","title":"Curious Little Monkey Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA baby monkey peers out at me with the widest, brightest eyes. Her fur is painted in streaks of blue, gold, and rose. All around her, wild flowers tumble across the panel. There is so much going on, and yet her gaze pulls me right back to her face. She looks like she just found something wonderful. The Curious Little Monkey Wooden Puzzle brings that scene to your table for a calm, rewarding build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular wooden puzzle shows the head and shoulders of a young monkey in a painterly folk style. Her face is built from soft creams and pinks, with two huge dark eyes set wide apart. Her ruff of fur breaks into rivers of cobalt, yellow, lime, and coral. Painted flowers fill the right side, including a white daisy, a crimson bloom, a tiny pink rose, and a curling vine. The background is pale and quiet so the colours sing. When you finish the puzzle, the monkey looks like she is about to lean forward and ask you a question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy People Love the Curious Little Monkey Wooden Puzzle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal lovers and folk-painting fans both come back to this design. The wide eyes give it real warmth, and the riot of painted flowers gives the build plenty of small surprises. The hidden whimsy pieces are themed to the scene: a tiny banana, a daisy, a curling leaf, and a small butterfly hide in the foliage. Tracking them down adds a slow second pass to the build. People who finish this one often say it feels like a nursery print waiting for a frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Craftsmanship in Every Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Curious Little Monkey Wooden Puzzle is cut from 4mm basswood plywood, the same warm, light wood we use across our whole range. Basswood holds its shape over years and does not bend or fray the way cardboard does. Each piece is laser-cut, so the edges are crisp and the click between pieces is firm. The art is printed straight onto the wood with UV-cured inks, which means the bright reds and blues stay rich even in a sunny room. The puzzle ships in a sturdy gift box with a printed cover so it doubles as the storage between builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 4mm basswood plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Rectangular outer panel, irregular laser-cut pieces inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint: UV-cured, fade-resistant inks printed directly on the wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Level 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished size and pieces, by size option:\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKids: 21.4 × 14.7 cm \/ 8.4 × 5.8 in, 118 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmall: 30 × 20.6 cm \/ 11.8 × 8.1 in, 202 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMedium: 41.6 × 28.7 cm \/ 16.4 × 11.3 in, 305 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLarge: 56 × 38.8 cm \/ 22 × 15.3 in, 505 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: irregular shapes with hidden whimsy pieces themed to the design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: recyclable gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: full-color reference poster to guide assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Thoughtful Gift for Animal And Folk-Art Lovers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wooden puzzle makes a great gift for anyone with a soft spot for primates, from zoo regulars to wildlife volunteers. It also suits friends who decorate with bold modern folk art. It works for a child's birthday, a graduation gift for a biology student, or a baby-shower keepsake for a jungle-themed nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Assembly Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Curious Little Monkey is rated Level 3. The two huge dark eyes give an unmistakable starting anchor, and the pale muzzle builds out quickly from there. The middle stretch is the painted ruff, where the streaks of colour clump into satisfying chunks. The slow finish is the floral garden, where similar petals push you to look closer. Most builders finish the Small in one focused sitting, the Medium across a weekend or two, and the Large over several relaxed evenings. A full-colour reference poster ships in the box, which helps when the daisies and red blooms start to look alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Display or Store It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the last piece clicks in, slide a thin sheet of card under the panel and lift it as one rectangle. A slim white frame or a natural wood one suits the bright palette best. It looks lovely in a nursery, a child's playroom, or any reading corner that needs more colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Opus Puzzles","offers":[{"title":"Kids","offer_id":44402343084083,"sku":"WP10220-KID","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":44397595033651,"sku":"WP10220-S","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44397595066419,"sku":"WP10220-M","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44397595099187,"sku":"WP10220-L","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3292\/2675\/files\/WP10220.webp?v=1780553589","url":"https:\/\/www.opuspuzzles.com\/products\/curious-little-monkey-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Opus Puzzles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
