The 10 teams of "mini mini" (small-small) were pleased to discover the Lion King, they had to agree two team mates to make the puzzle of 48 pieces on the carpet. And when you are 3 or 4 years it’s quite a challenge.
The 5 teams "mini" (small) have done brilliantly a 100 pieces jigsaw puzzle about Pacman.
No spirit of competition for these young children, but what a joy to announce your name to the microphone when you finished and especially the pleasure to receive the applause of adults.
After, of course, toddlers were able to go relax in the games room under the supervision of parent volunteers, to color in, play Kapla, create his own diploma, sing... And after the break, each team returned to work to make his second puzzle!
Meanwhile...
The 16 junior teams have shown tenacity to successfully complete their jigsaw puzzle about dinosaurs, with a little help for some, but, all had finished on time.
The 34 mixed teams (one child and one adult) found a 500 piece puzzle filled with treats but what horror ! All the candy seems to be the same, the task has been rather difficult.
The 39 amateur teams have been working on a 500 pieces portrait during 2h30 of the competition. They have put all their energy to succeed.
Our 2 teams of experts were surprised to discover two jigsaw puzzles of 500 pieces, each, mixed together, one of which without model.
An afternoon under the sign of good humor, friendliness, exchange, mutual assistance ... Each child has won an envelope with free entrance for our sponsors and all the teams went back with their jigsaw puzzle (finished or not) as gift.
Many have pledged to be trained even more better for 2017.
