{"product_id":"noahs-ark-animals-wooden-puzzle","title":"Noah's Ark Animals Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tall wooden ark sits on the shore as the animals march in two by two. A storm cloud rolls in behind it. Lightning cracks on the right side of the sky. Elephants, giraffes, lions, and zebras line up to climb the ramp. The whole picture feels like a familiar story told in folk-art detail. The Noah's Ark Animals 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 a folk-art rendering of Noah's Ark in classic detail. The ark itself is a tall wooden boat with three decks and a long row of vertical planks, painted in deep brown with a row of small windows on each side. Above the boat, the sky is a heavy grey-purple with a bolt of lightning on the right. Doves and crows fly in pairs around the rigging. On the sandy shore, animals walk toward the open ramp in twos. There are elephants, rhinos, lions, zebras, oxen, gazelles, sheep, pigs, antelopes, and even a kangaroo in the lower right. A small figure of Noah stands in the doorway with his arms open. When you finish the puzzle, the whole story feels frozen at the moment just before the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy People Love the Noah's Ark Animals Wooden Puzzle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolk-art fans, families with kids, and anyone who collects classic religious scenes reach for this one. The folk style and the many small animals make it a great family build for the holidays. The hidden whimsy pieces are themed to the scene: a tiny dove, a small olive leaf, a single rainbow, and a curling wave are tucked through the build. Hunting them gives kids a clear job during the build. People who finish this puzzle often gift it to a grandparent, a Sunday school teacher, or someone who collects nativity and ark figurines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Craftsmanship in Every Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Noah's Ark Animals 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 warm brown wood of the ark and the stormy sky 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 Folk Art And Family Lovers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wooden puzzle makes a great gift for the grandparent who keeps a Sunday school heart, the Sunday school teacher with a wall of Bible art, or the friend who collects folk paintings. It also suits a family looking for a project to build together. It is a strong birthday gift for a faith-based friend, an Easter gift for a younger family member, or a housewarming for a family with kids. It hangs well in a family room, a hallway, or a child's bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Assembly Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Noah's Ark Animals is rated Level 3. The long wooden ark itself gives you a clear anchor to start with, since its planks are easy to read. From there the line of animals on the shore breaks into clear small clusters for the middle stretch. The slow finish is the stormy sky and the sandy ground, where the muted greys and tans look alike from piece to piece. 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 small folk-art animals start to feel similar.\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 warm walnut or honey-oak frame suits the folk-art mood best. It looks at home in a family room, a hallway, or above a bookshelf full of children's books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Opus Puzzles","offers":[{"title":"Kids","offer_id":44402349801523,"sku":"WP10295-KID","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":44397652607027,"sku":"WP10295-S","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44397652639795,"sku":"WP10295-M","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44397652672563,"sku":"WP10295-L","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3292\/2675\/files\/WP10295.webp?v=1780553790","url":"https:\/\/www.opuspuzzles.com\/products\/noahs-ark-animals-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Opus Puzzles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
