The Puzzle Pod Review & Giveaway

A few weeks ago, Kaelyn and I were putting together one of her puzzles. She was getting close to having it all put together and I could see the excitement on her face. She was very proud! Unfortunately, that excitement quickly turned to frustration when we realized that there were a couple of pieces missing. After much searching, we finally found the pieces...but it was still a very discouraging experience. It's difficult to keep track of all the small pieces that come with toys toys like puzzles and games. We've tried small plastic bags, puzzle racks, etc but have not found a solution that really works....that is, until now!

The Puzzle Pod is a mom-invented product and one of those things that will probably have you thinking, 'Why didn't I think of that?!' (it did me anyways). Consisting of a small vinyl pouch with an adhesive backing, The Puzzle Pod is a clever storage solution for puzzle pieces and life's everyday piles of small things... crayons, game pieces, even receipts and scrapbooking supplies!

In need of a way to prevent lost puzzle pieces and tidy up the clutter around our house...I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review The Puzzle Pod.

We were sent four Puzzle Pods to test out and I couldn't wait to see if they were as great as I thought they would be. It turns out, this product not only met my expectations...but exceeded them!

As I pulled The Puzzle Pod out, I could tell right away that the vinyl pouch is very durable and something that won't bend or tear easily. It's one of those things that was made to last, and for that I am very thankful.

There are three Velcro closures along the top of the pouch, making it possible to keep everything in its place.

What makes the Puzzle Pod so unique and great is not only the quality, but the aggressive adhesive backing. By unpeeling the Puzzle Pod backing, I was able to easily stick it to the back of Kaelyn's puzzles.

I have not only been amazed with how securely it stays in place, but also how much it actually holds. My kids have several of the peg puzzles that have more bulky pieces. I was impressed that even with being larger, The Puzzle Pod holds them wonderfully! The vinyl is sturdy and the corners are pleated to adjust to thicker items like these puzzle pieces.

I am thrilled with The Puzzle Pod and plan on ordering more in the near future. Gone are the nights of searching high and low for lost puzzle pieces. Now they are all in The Puzzle Pod which is attached right to the puzzle. Having everything together and in its place has been wonderful! It's a very convenient and practical solution, as well as being one that has made clean-up a lot more fun for Kaelyn. She actually enjoys it now!

What I love most about The Puzzle Pod is how versatile it is. At first I thought it was just for puzzles (which still would have been great), but then learned how many other things it could be used for. Stick it to the back of a coloring book and put crayons and markers in it when traveling. Or, use it on the front of a binder or folder and keep important receipts bills or even scrapbooking supplies in it. The possibilities are absolutely endless.

Not only have we been using them with Kaelyn's puzzles, but I also put one on the binder where I keep different activities Kaelyn likes to do at home (or when we take a trip in the car). I put crayons and the pom pom magnets I made in The Puzzle Pod so they're easily accessible to her if she wants to do one of her activities. It's perfect!
