I never intended for her to put it together by herself. It was meant to be a "father/daughter" project and its a good thing-definitely not made for a smaller child. Although it has numbers on back for those who need the extra help (or just want to cheat) it required three of us to get the puzzle into the ball formation. Once its together, its together-very sturdy and secure but getting it there requires a bit of patience. from Amazon.com I found it impossible to assemble this puzzle neatly, without flaws. I realized, soon after inspecting the first set I bought, that it would never assemble properly without glue. In certain areas of the puzzle the pieces simply don't fit together properly, without creating distorting stresses in the ball. Some pieces require forcing or trimming to go together at all. from Amazon.com This puzzle ball is a lot of fun and you can actually make it easy or hard on yourself assembling the ball depending on presorting the numbers that are printed on the back of the puzzle pieces. The pieces are very sturdy and fairly easy to put together. from Amazon.com Our family has always had a tradition of doing puzzles over the holiday season. The Earth puzzle ball was a new spin on the tradition. Alot of fun due to the shape and a great refresher on our knowledge of geography. from Amazon.com My 6 year old son had been wanting this puzzle ball for about a year, ever since Aug 2007. We finally got it for him on 23 Nov 2008. from Amazon.com I would say the difficulty level is appropriate for adults and kids over ~12, or under 12 if accompanied by adults (unless it's assembled in cheat-mode where you look at the numbers on the backs of pieces). The pieces are hard and plastic, and interlock pretty tightly. It holds together pretty well during assembly, and is sturdy when fully assembled -- you can roll it around like a soccer ball (just don't kick it) and it can spin in the base very fast without breaking. It didn't seem quite as smooth as in the store -- some pieces jotted out by a fraction of a mm, but it does look perfectly smooth from a distance. from Amazon.com this puzzle ball is a lot of fun and you can actually make it easy or hard on yourself assembling the ball depending on presorting the numbers that are printed on the back of the puzzle pieces. from Amazon.com very fun product. from Amazon.com i was thinking about getting a globe as a gift for school age children and came across this puzzle globe. from Amazon.com i purchased this puzzle for my grandparents for christmas. from Amazon.com
