With the latest news on COVID variants, we may be doing some preventive hunkering in the near future. Puzzles can be a great way to pass the time, and some, in final form, are even worthy of display: I had an aunt who used to frame hers and put them up on the wall.
If you’re looking for an even deeper challenge — and are out of wall space — it might be time to step up to a 3D architectural model. It’s basically like a sculpture you put together — a hybrid of a puzzle and a model. CubicFun makes kits of various architectural landmarks that are fun to build and that look fantastic when they’re done. Today you can get one of the most iconic structures of all time, at more than 30 percent off! This 128-piece model depicts Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral, in all its majesty. And, while the real building is still under repair from the fire back in 2019, this 9.5-inch tall replica can be done in a matter of hours.
Right now this glorious set is on sale from $30 to just $20 with the on-page coupon , but Prime customers can get it for even less: only $18, thanks to the exclusive on-page coupon (which will show up for Prime members only).

Shoppers find this puzzle-model hybrid to be a great project whether they're working on their own or with older kids. One shopper said it made a “perfect” model for her daughter’s art class, due to its “easy to follow instructions.” You can have it on display at school or at home too; this customer attests to its sturdiness. A traveler who’s seen the real thing loves “how accurate this puzzle's architecture is,” and calls it “a beautiful model” that she will “happily display in my home.” It is certainly educational according to this reviewer, who describes it as “a great opportunity to show my six year old grandson how Notre Dame looked before the fire and to convey its history and significance to France and the world!”
Not into Notre Dame? CubicFun makes many more great 3D architectural puzzles; a few are also on sale — check out the Empire State Building or London's Tower Bridge, also discounted to $20!
