ABSTRACT:
A multi-layered educational and entertaining device including a plurality of independent layers, comprising a top planar layer comprising a plurality of irregularly-shaped pieces assembled together to form a top educational and entertaining picture, at least one intermediate planar layer comprising a plurality of irregularly-shaped pieces assembled together to form at least one intermediate educational and entertaining picture, and a bottom planar layer including a bottom puzzle portion and a raised decorative border extending inward from the bottom layer's outer edges and abutting the bottom puzzle portion, the bottom puzzle portion comprising at least one piece which forms a bottom educational and entertaining picture. The overall dimensions of the top layer and the intermediate layers are substantially the same as the overall dimensions of the bottom puzzle portion of the bottom layer, such that the layers, when positioned such that the intermediate layers are on top of the bottom puzzle portion and the top layer is on top of the intermediate layers, cover one another and abut the raised decorative border of the bottom layer. Each of the educational and entertaining pictures on each of the layers shares a common theme.
