Your mouth will be watering as you think about fresh cooked crab while you build the Crab Shack puzzle by artist Barb Tourtillotte. In short, it’s a bright and colorful 550-piece jigsaw puzzle.
About the Artwork
The cheerful crab shack scene celebrates one of the best parts of life on the coast: fresh seafood. It’s a fun, lively design full of color.
In addition, the bright colors make sorting easy and the building fun. As a result, it’s a great puzzle for the whole family to share.

Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the crab shack, using its colors and signs as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the crabs and seafood details. After that, piece together any water or dock areas. Finally, fill in the background, sorting those pieces by shade.

Hi Debbie, you commented on Crab Shack but I suspect you meant Lobster Shack. Crab Shack has not hit the warehouse yet. Will be arriving tomorrow morning for the first time. I’m happy to replace your puzzle if you will confirm the title and send me an email with your address to sales@heritagepuzzle.com.
