Piece together the magical adventure of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker
ballet with this unique musical jigsaw puzzle.
Begin with a musical puzzle frame that outlines in illustrations and
text the key events of The Nutcracker story - from the special gift
Clara receives from her uncle on Christmas Eve, a wooden nutcracker
shaped like a soldier, to the toy's transformation into a prince who
takes Clara on a tour of his kingdom, the Land of Sweets.
Using the full puzzle image on the poster as a reference, put together
an enchanting illustration showing Clara, her grand Christmas tree, the
nutcracker and some of the fantastic characters she meets on her
adventure. Then press the musical notes to hear the vivid sound of an
orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky's original score. Imagine dancers
leaping through the air and spinning furiously across the stage to the
classic 'Russian Dance', the Sugar Plum Fairy dancing delicately to the
sparkly sound of the celesta and more.
Flip the poster over to find additional details on the story's happy
ending and biographical information about the composer and how the music
connects with the story.
This musical jigsaw puzzle is the perfect gift to introduce children to
classical music.
