My boys always enjoy doing Ravensburger puzzles and recently we tried a 100 piece dinosaur puzzle which has something extra included. It is part of the Puzzle + App so once you have completed your puzzle, you can extend the topic with games and quizzes. This means that the puzzle entertains the children for longer.

It is quite tricky in some areas due to lots of similar colours, and details within the puzzle but it is good for 6+ as it is a little more challenging than some of our other puzzles, and the younger boys were still able to help out with finding a lot of the pieces that we needed.

The three options for this dinosaurs puzzle are panorama, which allows you to explore the puzzle picture, interesting facts, and a dinosaur quiz.

I felt they did learn a lot of new facts from using the app, more so than if they had just completed the puzzle and then moved onto something else.

This dinosaur puzzle is available from Amazon for 8.99 and I would recommend it to others, especially around 6-7 years old.
