Solution:

  1. Observe the picture on the puzzle piece and its color. The car is orange and its front part is missing. Choice 1 is the front of an orange car, so it is the correct answer.
  2. Observe the picture on the puzzle piece and its color. The goat is blue and its rear part is missing. All 3 choices are blue and has the rear part of the goat. What should we do? Look closely at the middle part that connects the 2 puzzle pieces together. The missing piece should have a triangle shaped part in its middle. So choice 1 is the correct answer.

Solution:

1.Find the corner pieces

Do you know how many corner pieces there are in this puzzle? A corner piece has a smooth horizontal edge and a smooth vertical edge. Corner pieces are easiest to find, so let's start with them. Pieces number 1, 2, 4, and 5 are corner pieces. Now, observe the full picture. In the upper left corner, we can see the upper part of a tree. Piece number 5 is the corresponding one, so let's put it on the red spot. In the upper right corner, we can see the sun. Piece number 1 is the corresponding one, so let's put it on the blue spot. In the lower left corner, we can see the ground and the dinosaur's tail. So let's find piece number 2 and put it on the grey spot. In the lower right corner, we can see the ground and the dinosaur's head. So let's find piece number 4 and put it on the brown spot.

2.Find the edge pieces, then the center piece

The next step is finding the edge pieces. An edge piece has a smooth edge. Pieces number 3, 6, 8, and 9 are edge pieces. Now, only piece number 7 is left, so it must be the center piece. Let's put it on the orange spot. How to find the edge pieces? We can use the same method as before. Piece number 8 has the tree bark and the dinosaur's tail, so it should be put on the green spot. Piece number 3 has the dinosaur's legs and the ground, so it should be put on the pink spot. Piece number 6 has the sky, the ground, and the dinosaur's spikes, so it should be put on the purple spot. Piece number 9 has the sky and the cloud, so it should be put on the gold spot.
