Kittens in Basket tray puzzle: "Cute cuddly kittens bundled together in a pretty little basket...The little kitties had a long day of yarn play, and now it's time for a wee nap. Absolutely adorable! A tray puzzle has a hard, durable board that acts as a place to store the puzzle, as well as a guideline for assembly. When the thick puzzle pieces are removed from the tray, a finished image can be seen printed on the tray. This helps people to see where the puzzle pieces should be placed. A tray puzzle's pieces fit securely within the frame making it a great travel activity. The puzzle can also be assembled without the puzzle board tray for more of a challenge." -- from www.cobblehillpuzzles.com.
