Christmas Ballet Mini Puzzle
The motif designed by Victoria Ball for Penny Puzzle is commissioned work. The theme is inspired by Tchaikovsky's famous ballet The Nutcracker, which is performed every year at the Royal Theater with many, many children's ballet dancers. it is a fantastic ballet that you can watch again and again, and the illustration of Victoria contains exactly the magic, joy and Christmas atmosphere that you experience when you watch the ballet. The motif with the warm red colors, the large finely decorated Christmas tree in the middle and the many dancing ballet children is so cozy to lay, even with just 150 mini tiles.
