The Short Version: EVIL.

It was a good idea. In theory. Alexis has a thing for Princess balls; it's a proven fact. She also has much love for puzzles. So, when Firemom mentioned that there was a Princess ball puzzle on Kids Woot!, I ran over. A couple of bucks later, I eagerly awaited what was sure to be the greatest puzzle ever invented.

WRONG.

The package very clearly stated that the puzzle was appropriate for ages six and over. I interpreted that to mean that Alexis would need some help with the puzzle, but given that she's pretty good at puzzles (and frequently completes some rated 6+ on her own), she shouldn't need too much help.

WRONG.

Alexis was muy excited when she saw the package and quickly sat down at the table to start assembling pieces. I sat down with her, figuring I would put together the pieces that looked a lot like one another while she worked on faces.

ONE. HOUR. LATER.

Alexis hung with me for the first twenty minutes of assembly attempts, but then bailed. She's smart. I'm stubborn. I HAD to finish the thing. AN HOUR.

Either I'm dumb, or that "6+" is a big fat lie.

The worst part is that the thing is no bigger than a softball.

And if you dare try to take it apart, I will have to take a softball bat after you. Don't touch my Princess ball puzzle, yo.

Nobody paid me anything for this post which is really too bad because the puzzle S-U-C-K-E-D. If you're smarter than me (and crazier), you can find one on Amazon.
