About the Artwork
The blue crab and his sea-life friends fill this colorful underwater scene. Every section has another creature to discover.
In addition, the bright colors give each sea creature its own clear section. As a result, the puzzle is fun to sort and satisfying to build.
Be sure to look at Lobster Daze, the companion puzzle to Under the Sea, also by Barb Tourtillotte.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the blue crab, using his color and claws as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on his sea-life friends one at a time. After that, piece together any shells or plants. Finally, fill in the water, sorting those pieces by shade.
