*looking back to 2007*
Daddy doesn't really like heights so I was a little shocked when he said he would go up.
As well as having the numbers on each piece had an arrow too. This told you which way to put the next piece and so on.
It was strange doing a puzzle without looking at a picture, we worked just off the numbers.
We each took a group of numbers 1-10, 11-20 and so on and then we passed them to Daddy who joined them together.
To make it 3D there are hinged pieces. I found these quite tricky at first but then realised they just need bending into place. I was scared I might snap them but they are strong plastic pieces.
Once all the pieces for the bottom half of the tower were connected we placed it on the base.
The middle section was harded than the bottom. I'm not sure why I think it might have been just us putting pieces in the wrong place ... oops.
It came together in the end and then there was only the top part to go.
I was really excited to see it all together and to switch the lights on.
We love it. It stands 44cm tall and it is really sturdy.
We switched the lights on and the colours are really lovely, its a pity the photograph doesn't really show how bright it is.
It now has a new home in our living room. Its lovely at night glowing in the corner. Actually makes me want to go back to Paris.

It's actually not that hard and it was worth it in the end
DeleteWe have that puzzle, we are looking forward to putting ours together. X
ReplyDeleteOh, you'll love it x
DeleteI've been up the Eiffel Tower before, years ago. It's amazing! That puzzle looks great! My son loves puzzles but at 2.5 years old he's a little young for this one. #whatsyourweekend

Yeah, probably a little too old for him but you might enjoy it x
DeleteThis looks amazing! :D Just said to boyfriend, "how awesome is this?" and he replied "I want one!" So I guess we're sold haha. It looks really lovely :) I'm terrified of heights, but I was blown away when I saw the Eiffel Tower and I do sort of regret not sucking it up and going up to the top. I think we will be getting one of these soon... #WhatsYourWeekend

ReplyDeleteWe've been to Paris dozens of times (my husband's sister used to live there) but we only went to visit the Eiffel Tower properly a few years back. I know, shocking! Like you I was open mouthed when I saw it close up. It's absolutely huge. But it was me who couldn't climb to the top. Since having kids I've developed vertigo. Nightmare! So I stayed on the the restaurant level while the others went up! Tx
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered what these 3D puzzles turn out like once they have been put together x
