That one is wild with all the animals.
It really is! 😻 It reminds me of the stampede scene in the original Jumanji movie 😆
Ok now I need this puzzle!! So lovely
Oh I love it! It was so fun to build - I hope you get it, and enjoy it as much as I did 😍
Yayy for the buying of the new puzzle. Really enjoyed that video. The colors are indeed very vibrant and there are a lot of them, which I like a lot. The leopard is so cute laying on its branch 🐆 ❤️
I know, I think that’s my favourite bit of the image so far, the leopard on the branch 😻 I’m so excited about the Wildlife puzzle. I just need it to get here now! 😆 thanks so much for watching 😍
Hi Vicky. I have this puzzle. It was delivered the other day and I am looking forward to getting it sorted and working on it. Your video is once again excellent and I will use your advice on microsorting. Always better than having to go back and do it again later.
Educa puzzle is very expensive in my country because we don't have official seller here, and if I try to buy from Amazon, the tax in my country is so high. so I'll enjoy watching whoever doing any Educa big puzzle 😁
Ah, it’s a shame when certain brands are difficult to get hold of. I’m glad you can enjoy the videos of others building them though - thank you for watching 😍
I just ordered a puzzle with 6000 miniature pieces, but i saw some great tips in this video, thanks!
6000 miniature pieces?! That sounds like it would make my eyes sore 😆 what brand is it? Thanks for watching the video, I’m glad you got some good tips 😍
@@Vickymakesandbuilds its from trefl, the "capel" one i think, its 6000 pieces but as big as a 3000 😂😂
Ooo, I’m intrigued by that! I’ll look it up, but I am unsure if my eyes would survive the challenge 🤣 good luck with it 😍
@@Vickymakesandbuilds thank you!!
I really love this image. I like educa puzzles. But recently I fell in love with Bleubird puzzle.
I just had a look at some Bluebird puzzles, I can see why you love them - some really lovely images and artwork 😍 thanks for that - it’s another brand on my ‘to try’ list! 😃 This Educa has been a true joy so far too, I am loving it! Thank you for watching 😊
@@Vickymakesandbuilds the Bluebird puzzles really hold together very well. you even have to push a bit to get them together. one strange thing: I have a 2000 piece and a 3000 piece puzzle , both are the same dimensions.
I recently bought 2 Educa puzzles. a 2000 Pirate map one, and a 4000 one called La Petite Cafe. I havemy eye on this one as well. I've never done an Educa puzzle nor any puzzle over 2000 pieces. I have space issues.
Your puzzles sound lovely - I’m not familiar with those images, but I’ll look them up! I have 2 x 4k Educa’s in my stash - one is very similar to Entering the Bedroom, I can’t wait to tackle them 😍
It’s good to build up the sizes gradually, that way you get a good sense of what you can manage in limited space, but whenever space has been an issue for me, I find that boards are the way forward 😊
New subscriber here. You have such a pleasant voice to listen to, Vicky. I almost feel like you are chatting with friends while building your puzzle. I enjoy hearing your puzzle strategies and I find it wonderfully satisfying to see the close-ups of you placing individual puzzle pieces into place. Your music selections for this video are soothing and relaxing. You have a nice mix of talking strategy and reviewing the quality of the puzzle, piecing together the puzzle, and music background. This is a beautiful puzzle. I've never attempted such a large puzzle but you are showing that it is not so overwhelming and it is an enjoyable immersive experience.
Thank you very much! It always surprises me when people say I have a nice voice - I’ve never been very fond of the sound of my voice, but then again, it must sound very different in your own ears to what others hear 😊. It makes me glad to hear that you like the close ups - I always try and make sure I put plenty of those in - I also love to see them slot into place - so satisfying! Thanks for commenting on the talking/puzzling balance in the video - I have always been a little conscious that maybe I talk too much, but if the balance is right then that’s great to hear. As for the puzzle, it is one of the most immersive I have ever done. I always tend to lose myself in puzzles, but this one, for some reason, really drew me in. It’s been so enjoyable! (I just finished it yesterday, by the way, so keep an eye out for part 2 soon!) - Thank you for watching 😍
This looks to be a great puzzle! I have to say one thing though... the doorway you talk about is actually a picture frame! The animals are coing out of the pictures on the wall. 6,000 pieces though! I haven't anywhere in the house big enough to do that one. :)
Oh that will teach me not to post too early! You actually did realise it was another picture frame. Sorry!
😃
I don’t have huge amounts of space either. When I was in a smaller place and didn’t have a room to puzzle in, I used foam boards to separate it into sections and build it up that way - they stack too so you can put it away or cover it up 😊
I just bought two Educa puzzles second hand, I have them in my line up to do soon. This one was so beautiful! ❤
It is a gorgeous puzzle - Educa images are so stunning! 😍
It’s so wonderful to see the puzzle come together!!! 🤩🤩😄
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😍
I have this one to do and I found your video very insightful and interesting to watch as well thanks for sharing
Thank you so much 😍. I am loving this puzzle, I hope you enjoy yours too. Thank you for watching 😃
Wow. Love the colors on this one!
Me too! They’re just gorgeous 😍
Well done so far looking forward to seeing part 2 of this puzzle
Thank you 😍
I am so excited about part 2. Watching you is so relaxing!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you like it 😍
Ravensburger is the king of dust.
😆 Yes, they are dusty as well, my 9k had loads of dust. This one is pretty high on the dust scale too! Thank you for watching 😊
I just love your videos!!! Indeed look forward to seeing you. Your approach to tackle such enormous puzzles is educational for me. I find myself using this approach spot on. Looking forward to the completion of this 6000 educa puzzle. As far as the breathtaking 33,000 puzzle… you go girl!!!
Aaw, thank you so much, that really means a lot 😃 I am genuinely glad that you and others find the videos helpful and educational. For me it’s doubly amazing because I love sharing my love of puzzles with you as much as people seem to enjoy watching 😍 he he! I am buzzing with excitement about the 33k, I just want it to come now! Lol. Thank you for watching my videos 😊
My favorite puzzle channel on RUclips! Love your videos!
Wow! Thank you so much, that’s such a lovely thing to say 😍 I really appreciate you watching my videos and I’m so glad that you like them 😊
Glad you are enjoying this puzzle. It looks like educa have address my concerns about the pieces. Might have to try educa again!
Hi, it has been really fun so far. The only slight gripe that I have with the pieces is the slightly loose fit - you can’t really move sections, but I can live with that…and there is some dust. Otherwise they have been fine 😍
Beautiful
Thank you very much 😍
I love the finish and colour of educa puzzles, I just hate the way they don't lock together. At least on the 4k puzzle I'm working on. I can't imagine doing 33k pieces that come apart so easily.
I agree 100% with that. Their images are just amazing, and so vibrant, but the loose fit can be frustrating as heck!
I won’t let that put me off them though!
I really enjoyed your video, especially the detailed explanations that helped you when doing the larger puzzles. The have really helped me.
Thanks so much for telling me that 😍 it really means a lot to know that you are enjoying the videos and finding them helpful! I love sharing my puzzles with you all so I will keep them coming 😃 thank you for watching x
Really looked fun to do. Beautiful so far! 😊
It’s an absolute joy! 😍 I just got the tigers and lions done last week - that was really fun 😃 hope to get part 2 out soon.
Just started today!
Ooo, yay! Enjoy 😍
Great job
Thank you very much 😍
I really like Educa puzzles. I like their pieces shape, which are quite unique. I recently did the 1000 pieces 'Vintage Beer Collage' puzzle which was super fun to make. I love collages for puzzle! It also did not have any poster which mean a part of the image was obscured, but I took it as a little supplementary challenge! It was also very fun to see you do this puzzle!
I’m really pleased with this puzzle - I didn’t know what to expect, with it being my first Educa, but I love it 😍 the funny shaped pieces are certainly unique, it’s nice to have something a bit different though. I wasn’t too annoyed with the obscured part of the picture, it just threw me a little is all 😃 I like the sound of the beer collage. Collage puzzles are fun aren’t they? 😊
@@Vickymakesandbuilds They sure are! It's like putting together many smaller puzzles. I liked the retro aspect of the beer adverts and I even recognised some of the brands (there was even one from my country, Switzerland)!
Everything looks like it is made of fur. Flowing texture in everything. Just mentioning to ask if that texture helped.
Yes you are right. If you look close up it’s almost like the whole thing is brush strokes.
I wouldn’t say it helped or hindered that much. It was a little confusing to the eye at first, but once I adjusted my focus to ignore the texture and just focus on the image, then it went together fine. 😍
amazing job💪♥️ i love it and the music😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much 😍
I have been wanting this puzzle for so long, but I havent bought it yet! But seeing you putting it together has me thinking it should be my summer project! Lovely!
Yes! Totally 😃 I would highly recommend it, it’s such a beautiful puzzle and I’m having such fun building it! Let me know if you decide to get it 😍 thank you for watching 😊
I am enjoying watching how you attack this puzzle
Even though we have different strategies, we seem to be doing the same areas in relatively the same order. Keep up the good work.
Funnily enough, you are about the fourth or fifth person to say to me that you tackled it in a similar way - this seems to be the general ‘go to’ order for most people who work this puzzle 😃 it’s interesting that it happens even with different strategies, as you say 😍 thank you so much for watching the video - I think you might be ahead of me now! I took a couple week’s break from it, but I’m back onto it again now 😊
Great video Vicky!!🧩🧩☺️☺️🧩🧩
Thanks Judy! 😍 can’t wait to see your Star Wars one complete - such an epic puzzle! 😃
@@Vickymakesandbuilds I will finish it this summer! That's my goal! 🧩😊
I love the picture... I did this puzzle last year but it was only 1000 pieces big. Funny experience: I started with sorting out several of the largest animals there and put those pieces into small bags... only to have my 4 year old daughter empty those back into the box the next day thinking she was helping... I was none too happy of course but thought that no big harm happened... until she ran her fingers through the pieces several times wondering how tiny they were comparing to her puzzle pieces... :-)
Ah, that’s a tough one - you can’t get mad, because they meant well, but you still feel the frustration! 😆 I think I would have cried if I had sorted all 6k pieces and then someone jumbled them up again! 😩 The picture on this one is lovely, I have actually finished it now - I’m working on the video so I can get part 2 up this week 😍 thank you for watching!
@@Vickymakesandbuilds I was quite surprised that all 6 thousand pieces were in one bag I thought that with these big puzzles they divide them into sections and put those into separate bags. Wouldn´t even know where to work on it, I have a problem to find a decent space for my 1500 pieces that I´m struggling with these days :-) I loved the picture so much - it´s Snowy Morning from Castorland - but with all those blues and whites the progress is frustratingly slow... With my daughter asking regularly if I´m finally finished and why it´s taking me that long when she has her 160 pieces Frozen puzzle already finished. Anyway, congratulations on finishing yours! :-)
omg I have a puzzle with this exact picture but 1000 pieces by castorland that's funny x)
Cool! I’ve not tried a Castorland yet, I’ll need to give one a go 😍
👏👏👏👏
😍
Would love to see you take on the educa 24,000 life puzzle!
I’ll be honest, I loved the Life puzzle as soon as I saw it. I think the colours are amazing, just like in this one. I don’t know why I opted for Wildlife instead - I love the image of course, but I think it’s also because I don’t see the Wildlife puzzle done as much as the Life puzzle and I wanted to do something a little different. Chances are I’ll get around to the Life puzzle as well eventually 😍 thank you for watching x
Hi Vicky, I finished my first every wasjig today the number 28, one I told you about.
Bit of a slow confusing start but I was off once I got it. I didn’t realise how different the picture was going to be including the clothing of the characters. I really enjoyed it, it was very different for me.
Great video as always, thank you for uploading x
Yay! Well done you 😍 it’s not so bad once you get going is it? You get more used to it, the more you do as well. It’s true, the image in the Original ones can be quite different, but they’re definitely a fun challenge. I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😃 thank you so much for watching x
I love Wasgij puzzles and I collect them I have 18 now. :)
I’m almost done with the frame, I know you said the top and bottom have 81. Does that include the corner pieces? And how many on the sides, either including the corners or not. Thanks! And I can’t wait to see part two!
Hiya! Yes, 81 at the top and bottom including the corners. 74 at the sides including the corners. Hope that helps 😍 thank you for watching and good luck with the puzzle 😃
It's a shame that this puzzle did not come with a poster. Especially with text/branding printed over the box image, a puzzle of this scale will have quite a bit of the image obscured by that printing. Otherwise, this looks like a beautiful puzzle! You explain your process very well.
Yes, I have only done two 6k piece puzzles so far, but neither had posters. I kind of feel like 6000 is enough pieces to warrant a poster, it would have come in handy, but I can manage without it 😊 You are right, that logo and those zeroes do obscure quite a big chunk of the puzzle, but I think I’ve more or less done that bit now, so hopefully it won’t be a problem now 😍 It really is beautiful though! Thank you so much for watching 😃
Hey Vicky. Looks like a fun puzzle. Too bad it didn’t come with a poster. Not sure if you misspoke, but the creature below the killer whale is a dolphin. In fact, a killer whale is also a dolphin. The 8000pc Educa Cappella Sistina puzzle I just did has some of the wavy edge pieces. All of the other inside pieces were the standard 2 in’s on opposite edges and 2 out’s on the other 2 opposite edges. I call the short ones H’s and the long ones I’s. I have never seen an arrangement with the wavy pieces and the double looking ones together like that before. As far as I can remember, the only time I have seen the double looking pieces are in round puzzles. I just did the Wasgij original #16 Catch of the Day.
Oooh! Yes, now you say it, it does look like a dolphin! 😆 I actually thought it might be a beluga whale at first, because of the shorter nose and bump on the top, but they are white aren’t they, come to think of it? Thanks for that 😃 I think the Educa Life puzzle has those wavy pieces too from what I’ve seen, but I’ve only come across the tall double pieces in a Krypt puzzle before now. I like it, it’s a little different 😊 H’s and I’s are a good way of describing the standard pieces too. I’ve not done that Wasgij? I do love the Original ones though - I hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching 😍
@@Vickymakesandbuilds My Sistine Chapel puzzle is 272 by 96 cm. It came in 4 bags breaking the puzzle down into 4 quadrants each 136 by 48 cm. After I finished each section, I broke them in half to 68 by 48 sections to move them aside. When I would slide the sections onto a piece of cardboard, the wavy pieces would drop and some pieces would come out. My Wasgij collection consists of #1 thru19 of the Originals, 1 thru 9 Mystery, 1 thru 10,12 &14 of the Destiny, 1 thru 8 Xmas, and the 10th Anniversary one. I was taking pictures of the solutions of them and had a bunch done, but my computer hard drive crashed and I lost them. Thanks for the reply Vicky.
I see what you mean about the wavy pieces - and Educa pieces don’t hold together well at the best of times! 😊 the wavy ones in this one are a bit more bolstered by the two larger ones on either side of them, but it’s still a very loose fit. Good pieces and a good image though. 😍 I’ve done a lot of Wasgij? But don’t still have them. I only have 5 now. I do like to get hold of the old original ones, i.e. the non retro ones, I find them in charity shops sometimes. 😃 That’s a real shame you lost your solution pics! Computers can be a pain sometimes. I can send you some of my solution pictures if you want to start building it up again? I don’t have many, but you are welcome to the ones I do have.
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Thanks Vicky for the offer to send me the pics. I don't need to have them. I'm going to do the Wasgij original #17 Ballroom Blushes soon.
THANK YOU for making these videos
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad to hear that 😍. How far into the puzzle had you got? Which section did you start with? It’s brilliant to know that others are puzzling this puzzle alongside me 😃. Thanks so much for watching my video!
Puzzle law....so true!
Looking so much forward to the 33K-piece unboxing!!!
DO YOU KNOW how many times on average do you have to switch boards per hour for this 6000-pc puzzle?
😆 I know right? Puzzle law - lol!
I literally just got a notification that the 33k puzzle is coming tomorrow!! So so so excited 😃
That is a good question, and hard to answer. In this first half video, which represents about 50% of the puzzle, I built most of it on the table and only transferred it to the boards near to the end. I’m still doing that to a certain extent so there hasn’t been as much switching as you might think at this stage. I would say the times when I’m filling in gaps are the times when I’m doing the most board shuffling. If I was to average the number out over an hour I’d say maybe 2 or 3 times, but that will increase as the puzzle fills out and that doesn’t really include when I’m moving sections off the table and onto the boards, if you included that, then closer to 4 or 5 times. Sorry that is not more accurate, I will try to keep tabs on that so that I can give you a bit more of an idea. I have to say though, the Clementoni 6k was a lot more “board shuffly” than this one is, but I think that is partially to do with the differing ways that the puzzles came together. Hope that helps 😍
Another one I've been eyeing! I have it on my list on Amazon but it has been unavailable. :( One of these days maybe I will get to try it. :) Looking forward to watching you put it together!
Ah, that’s a shame it’s unavailable 😔 I got mine from UK Amazon and it’s still available on there, but I don’t know how much shipping would be to you. I hope you manage to get hold of it soon 😊 thank you so much for watching the video 😍
Tell about doing large puzzles, after doing the 5000 piece Space Odyssey puzzle I've found 1000 a little, for lack of a better word, boring and easy.
So currently working on the 5000 piece ravensburger Pokemon puzzle. With the Clementoni Disney Orchestra waiting g in the wings.
😆 Doing 1000 pieces after doing humongous puzzles always feels like a breath of fresh air to me, not that the big ones are arduous, I love them, but it’s just nice relaxing back into a normal sized puzzle for a while 😊 It’s not long though before I’m itching to get back to the biggies, lol. Overall, they are my favourites 😍
I loved your Space Odyssey puzzle, and I’m enjoying your progress on the Pokemon puzzle, it helps give me an idea of how me and the kids might go about building that one! So looking forward to your Disney Orchestra too, it’s always fun to see that one progressing - such an amazing puzzle 😃 thanks for watching x
@@Vickymakesandbuilds No problem, love watching your videos, the pokemon one us so colourful is kinda helps itself.
Glad you liked the Space Odyssey one, it was so much fun to do.
Love your videos, always watch them ad soon as I can.
P.S. really can't wait for you to do the 9000 dragon one, SSOOOOOOO wanna get that one my self.
😍 The Space Odyssey is on my wish list, but I’ve got the other two 5k Ravensburgers so I’ll hold off on that one for now, I do like it though 😃
It was the sections of colour on the Pokemon one that drew me to it. I thought the kids and I could work on different sections 😃
Lol! I can’t wait to do the dragon one either. Think it will be later in the year though - will you get it, do you think?
@@Vickymakesandbuilds oh yes definitely going to get the dragon one at some point, just need the funding in place first.
I agree, it's best to keep to pile of puzzles to do small, stops it from becoming to daunting then.
Something tells me that the kids are going to enjoy helping you with the pokemon one. If you fancy giving them a challenge, see if they can name all the pokemon in the puzzle.
What size foam boards do you use for 6,000 piece puzzles?
I use 4 x A1 sized boards 😊 they are 59.4x 84.1cm, or in inches 23 3/8 x 33 1/8 inches 😃 hope that helps!
Wondered whether you could tell me a little more about piece thickness? Odd question, I know, but I have my reasons!
I live in Cyprus, and brands are limited: lots of Trefl (fine with that), the occasional Ravensburger (all good), and Clementoni (chunky and unique fit; my favourite by far).
I am able to get my hands on Educa, but having recently been burnt (by Mindbogglers; so cheap and thin it was undoable!) I'm a little worried.
tl;dr: How would you say Educa pieces compare to those of Clementoni?
Thank you!
Hi! I will do a comparison on the pieces and let you know. I’ll also measure the thickness. I love Clementoni’s as well - I think they are my favourite brand to date. I have loved the Educa and find the pieces to be good - I didn’t think they were particularly thin, but I’ll definitely take a closer look for you. Thanks so much for watching 😍
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Hooray! Thank you so much.
Hiya, I just did a quick comparison between a Clementoni piece from the Venice Sunset 6k and Educa 6k. Educa are definitely thinner than Clementoni - by about half a mm or thereabouts. I prefer a chunkier piece myself, but I didn’t find Educa to be too thin, the pieces felt sturdy enough, with no peeling image or fraying - no bent pieces either - also very few stuck together (Clementonis tend to have a lot stuck together in my experience.)
Also Clementonis usually have that ‘woven’ looking finish, which I like, whereas Educa is a little smoother. I had no problems with glare though and the texture of the pieces suited the brightness and vibrancy of this particular puzzle. Also the Educa pieces are slightly more elongated - they were more rectangular than on a Clementoni, which are more square. I found this helped with the Educa as you could tell which way the pieces were going to be oriented. I can’t really say much more. I’ve only done one Educa, but have done several Clementonis. Like you, Clementoni are my favourite brand as well. My first Educa has been a positive experience, but I’d say that the image is about 85% responsible for that 😍 hope that all makes sense and helps!
Absolutely fantastic info - very much appreciated! I was looking at a few Educa puzzles today, and having a good mull. Now I reckon I can go ahead without worrying I'm wasting money. Thank you so much; very kind of you to go to so much trouble. :)
Is it just me, or is this video very low resolution…. I hope it is just a youtube-thing and that a higher resolution video will be available later.
Hi, I only just uploaded this - the HD upload takes a little longer, this is still SD at the moment, I just checked! Not sure how long it will take, but hopefully it will be better very soon 😊
@@Vickymakesandbuilds Seems to be in HD now. :)
Oh good! I got a little worried there for a minute. I don’t have the best wifi where I live, so I think it’s a bit slow to upload in HD sometimes. I’m glad it’s looking better now 😃
@@Vickymakesandbuilds I recommend leaving it as unlisted until it goes HD. That is what I do
I think you might be right. Usually I schedule them, so I don’t have that problem, but I was a bit late with this one and I simply forgot about the delay with the HD processing. I’ll keep that in mind for the future 😃
