Rabbit hole
A December 5th present it was. I wouldn't call this a 3D puzzle, but a construction kit. I made many at the age of 7-8 and gave them as a present to every birthday child inviting me. 🤣
A real train wasn't in Saint's budget. I tried something new though it felt like crawling through a rabbit's hole.

Perhaps I'm old school, I believe construction kits like this are a far better gift for children. But I often feel burdened by the thought of the glares I might get for gifting something that doesn’t 'scream' expensive. Kids might not even recognize the true value of a kit like this.
When it came to choosing a gift for my partner’s niece, I decided on a farmhouse set with cows puzzle like yours.
I know I might be met with some elitist comments—especially since I forgot to remind my partner to claim the choice as his own.
Left to his own devices, he had actually picked out a baby-doll feeding set. It was a huge box, which is likely why he chose it, but it felt more suited for a toddler than a bright five-year-old girl. I simply couldn’t stand by and let him give it; I actually felt embarrassed for him.
These gifts are the worst. It's better to puzzle and use the brain. To be fair I doubt this is meant for little children. The box says 14+ years which says enough and if I see the shop selling this for sure the child knows the price. I doubt many children will make this these days though. Perhaps one or two nerds would. 🤐
These puzzles are not that cheap either. There's a shop selling this near my place. They have different themes, and I especially like the Japanese stores series where there are ramen shop, sushi shop etc etc. They are more than USD30 each.
I share your sentiment. Kids these days probably don't appreciate them.
A rabbit burrow makes me imagine a rabbit and many baby rabbits all crammed in there as if it were their home.
