Ah nice, mum loves a good Orchid, she got about a dozen between me and my brother cause we used to be rubbish at getting her things when younger for like mothers day and was easy go too lol. And she has a Bird of Paridise so matches well but mum isn't a lego lady. In her 70s she happy with a solid puzzle still ha.

I keep wanting to try one of the Ravensburger 3D jigsaw puzzles

​

I had one those Puzz3D puzzles back when I was little like 5yrs old. Think it was Bavarian mansion if i remember right.

We (me and the mrs with occasional "help" from the kids) enjoy them. Currently working on a 6,000 piece one. For scale it's about the size of a large 3 seater sofa (which ironically is the only space for it ). It's hard work, but enjoyable.

I used to when I was a child but then I grew up

Do you play computer games?

This is not the case, there are 1,000`s of puzzles and lots available and aimed at adults, its not just for children.
So do you class drawing/art as for children only?

Do you play computer games?

Yes I love computer games. I don't play kids games though like Roblox or Minecraft.

I'm sure there are but I grew out of them in my teenage years. I haven't grown up totally though as I recently bought a skateboard.

 

[ncncore]

Yes I do, especially with daughter. It's funny really but my late nanna loved a puzzle and I would always help her when I visited and it's something I got reasonably efficient at.

 

[Feek]

No, they bore me silly.

 

[One 48]

Yes, and if you have kids its fun to share a table and build a big puzzle with them. Its very satisfying and bonding.

Beware the second hand ones on Ebay though, there is nothing more frustrating in life in near finishing a good 1000 piece puzzle and realising one or more bits are missing ... ARGHHH!

Also ... what happened to Rubic Cubes? used to have one, they were a massive craze once upon a time!

 

[Ninco!]

The last one I completed (1983) when Star Wars was a legendary and unbutchered trilogy.

Never appealed to me as a kid or now my sister and father used to love them though they would wile away boring evenings on holiday with them remember one being a picture of a windmill which they complained took an age as at least half the picture was deep blue sky with no indentifying features whatsoever

 

[alchal]

Jigsaws and constant reality TV are my vision of hell.

So I'm not a fan you could say.
