Love to see this channel grow! And as a fellow not native English spaker, can we just appreciate how incredibly hard is to make a whole youtube video in a language that's not your first? Keep it up, love the puzzle content!

Thank you! 🤗 It is a bit more difficult yes, especially with losing words or your tongue twisting on specific sentences 😂😂 Thank you for pointing that out - sometimes I forget that it's slightly trickier for me 😅 Thank you again! 🥰

Ww love mini puzzles! I bring them with me and do them together with my son in doctor's waiting rooms, at church etc. A nice quiet yet challenging activity, that keeps him occupied.

That's so nice! I didn't even think of that - probably because I don't have kids yet! Great idea! 🤩👌🏻

My favorite 'mini' puzzles are PUZZLEBUG's 350-piece puzzles. I found a whole collection at Dollar Tree stores!

You need one more mini puzzle to make it an even 10!! lol Great mini puzzles, makes a great snack while watching tv. And congrats on making over 4K!!

Yes, I totally would!! 😅 And I agree with you! I tend to do 1k puzzles with TV in the background, but it's more listening than watching, so in that sense, it would definitely be better to do mini puzzles! 🤩 Thank you! 🤗

Congratulations. 4,000 is great. Ta for the mini puzzles. 😊

I'm a disabled person, and I really like Educa puzzles. They can be easily put together and taken apart without suffering much damage to the pieces. Also when I'm done assembling, I just take out few middle pieces and start pushing the puzzle from the edges inward and it crumbles easily. Other puzzles with a snug fit I struggle to take apart and damage pieces in the process. Every negative has a positive and vice versa. I'm at the moment in the video where you are about to assemble the hot-dog puzzle. I struggled with it! 😫 Pozdrav iz Srbije ❤

I agree about the assembly and disassembly - there are some puzzle brands, where the pieces get easily damaged when trying to disassemble the puzzle 😬 I think the quality of Educa pieces is great - I just don't particularly like their cut. I think they could have a bit more of a variety of pieces 😊 The hot dog puzzle was fun, but you need a good light for it, because the pieces are quite shiny, so in order to see the gradient, you need the daylight 😉 Pozdrav iz Slovenije! 🥰

Great video. I must get some mini puzzles, they are so cute. I’d love to know how to glue them together, I’ve never tried that.

The owl puzzle might be from Temu. I had a similarly packaged giraffe puzzle that I eventually found on there. No brand name or any information on the box.

@@janetteandherpuzzles I think mini puzzles is right. For me its because ive got a 1000 piece worlds smallest puzzle that im about to do, its pieces are mini,the size of a pinky fingernail. 😁

Beautiful puzzles! What is the highest number of pieces that you would consider a puzzle a «mini puzzle»?

@janetteandherpuzzles

5 ай бұрын

Thank you! 😁 That is a great question - I normally buy puzzles from 500 pieces up, so I'd consider that the beginning of 'normal' puzzles aka not a mini puzzle anymore, because smaller piece counts are usually for kids, but nowadays, I know they're making adult puzzles in smaller piece count as well, so maybe up to 250? I don't know haha 😅😂🙈 I guess anything that will take me up to 30 minutes to finish - my average time for 500 pieces is around 1 hour 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

In my country "mini puzzles" have a different meaning. Usually they have 500 pieces (one brand have them in 1000 pieces as well) but the size of them are really small, something like 20cmX30cm finished, so... mini puzzles 🤷🏽‍♀️

@janetteandherpuzzles

Oh yes, I know what you're talking about! I didn't even think of that! 😅😬 Like the Burj Khalifa ones that I did at the end, would count as mini puzzles, where the actual pieces are miniature, regardless of the piece count of the puzzle. I don't know how I would call this collection then though! 😅

EDUCA puzzles are good. Although I do agree that over 1,000 piece puzzles become complicated because of their cut. But up until 1,000 they are enjoyable. As for that piece that doesnt connect...yes, it is not ideal but I think is their signature piece. Of course to each their own but if Vicky managed to do several of their biggest puzzles and have no problems with them then they can be done. Still, as I said, I´ve made two 1,500 piece puzzle and they were quite challenging at that point. So up until 1,000 they are OK to me.

I agree, I have several 500 and 1000 pieces puzzles by Educa, including some 1000 mini pieces puzzles, and the pieces shapes are not a problem to solve them. I like the "pregnant" signature pieces too. However, the crumbliness of Educa puzzles is really annoying when you try to move sections of the puzzle across the work surface.

@janetteandherpuzzles

4 ай бұрын

Oh yes, I definitely agree that the quality of the pieces is good, I just don't like their cut - that's my personal opinion, because I like all different shapes, and more prong variations, which I find repetitive with Educa unfortunately 😬 I also agree, that up to 1500 pieces, it's fine. And even beyond that, because like you said, Vicky has done many, and they are doable - they don't have misfits, I just don't find them enjoyable, because of their cut 😅 I didn't realise that the 'pregnant' pieces were their signature pieces. It would make sense to keep them, but they could still add a bit more of a variety of pieces. I love this term haha I think I'll start using it from now on! 😂👌🏻

I love your mini puzzles collection. You have a variety of brands and styles. I love my small puzzles from Werkshoppe, the come in 100 piece counts. Excelent quality all around. I am not huge fan of micropuzzles but I like the images of the ones you haveYou can show us how you glue your puzzles, that would so much fun☺☺
