As a mom and crafter myself, I was looking forward to working this 1,000-piece puzzle. I’ll admit I was drawn to the paints in the lower-left corner, as well as the outdoor scene. However, once starting the puzzle, I realized much of the picture is in muted greens, browns, and grays. This makes for a so-so puzzling experience for two reasons: first, part of the joy of puzzles is the image itself, which should spark interest and excitement as you discover details; and second, low lighting within the puzzle requires bright lighting while working it, which can lead to glare and eye strain.
Therefore, I am giving this puzzle 2 out of 5 puzzle pieces.
