Wooden 3D Puzzle - Transport Truck, by Funyards Australia

I’ve tested several build-it-yourself plywood puzzles from @funyardsaustralia , and each one has been a delight to assemble. The “Wooden 3D Puzzle - Transport Truck” stands out as one of my personal favorites. It’s notably larger than other models I’ve built, and its design includes some delightful surprises that enhance its playability.
Why I love ❤️ this set: (1) The set includes two wooden sheets labeled “A” and “B,” featuring laser-cut plywood pieces, along with a one-page assembly guide. To begin, gently push out the laser-cut pieces (there is a total of 38 of them); they easily pop out without the need for any tools. The illustrated guide offers clear, step-by-step instructions for assembling the transport truck. It was enjoyable to see the plywood pieces come together into a classic, sturdy transport vehicle. The assembly process involves connecting the components sequentially, starting with the front cab and gradually moving to the trailer section. Completing the puzzle took about 30 minutes. It was a fun project that provided a rewarding bonding experience with my child, offering a stress-free yet satisfying build.
(2) The model is detailed enough to look realistic while being simple to assemble. It features a detailed front cab with a bumper, radiator grille, side doors, a sun visor, and visible exhaust stacks. The large trailer includes ample cargo space, 8 wheels, and openable rear doors. All components fit together securely, making the truck perfect for imaginative play and a distinctive decorative item.
(3) The puzzle pieces are laser-cut with precision, with well-designed gaps and links that ensure effortless assembly. I’m impressed by how seamlessly the pieces fit together without the need for glue. The set includes a small piece of sandpaper to smooth the edges and surfaces, enhancing the overall finish.
(4) I LOVE that the puzzle comes in a flat-pack with minimal packaging. The instructions are clearly illustrated, and each piece is labeled in the guide, making identification straightforward. Additionally, the product has passed CE and ASTM tests, as noted in the included information.
