Color-In Crocodile Puzzles

This Creative 3D Puzzle Doubles as a DIY Art Project for Kids

— July 2, 2019 — Art & Design
This creative 3D puzzle is that of a sculptural crocodile that can be customized and colored in. Encouraging hands-on and creative play, the product consists of 10 pieces that are easy to assemble -- requiring no tools or adhesives.

Each is accented with black and white doodles of cupcakes, donuts and other treats along with heart and candy motifs. The creative 3D puzzle is created by Daron and is sold with five colored pens -- creating an interactive coloring activity for young artists.

Ideal for parents looking to reduce screen time among their kids, this product encourages traditional, low tech play and lets kids build and customize a series of puzzle pieces. Once built and customized, this 3D crocodile doubles as a fun home decor accent.
