About the Pieceless Puzzle: The Pieceless Puzzle provides an exciting new twist on the standard jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle concept remains -- that of putting a puzzle together for critical thinking, dexterity, entertainment, and hand-eye coordination. The "twist" is that the pieces are formatted to stay connected, adding a fun "brain tease" to the puzzle. When disassembled, the Pieceless Puzzle extends into a long string of wiggly "fingers" that never separate, making this puzzle a perfect travel companion, a great gift, and a fun activity for parties and multiple users. Made of durable, floppy, nontoxic, and washable material, the Pieceless Puzzle provides "soft-to-the-touch" play that is safe and, perhaps best of all, no piece will ever be lost! Also, the Pieceless Puzzle is a "two-in-one" puzzle in that a different image can be printed on each side. The Pieceless Puzzle is made in various sizes and comes in a variety of difficulty levels to challenge people of all abilities and ages.
