The Puzzle Pod is an ingenious invention for keeping your puzzle
pieces together. It is a clear plastic envelope with Velcro closings
on the front flap and an adhesive on the back. You peel off the
paper to expose the adhesive and stick the pouch to the back of
the puzzle. You then put all the puzzle pieces into the pouch--and
no more lost puzzle pieces! Now you can take your puzzles along
when you travel without worrying about losing the pieces.
These come in a 4-pack for $14.95, which would translate to about
$3.75 apiece. That may seem a little steep, but if you spend $20
on a nice wooden puzzle, you are not going to want any of the pieces
to go missing. It would be worth the investment of $3.75 to ensure
that your puzzle stays together and doesn't lose its value. I am
using the one I was sent to review and am seriously considering
this option for all our puzzles. I recommend this to all moms,
especially those with preschoolers.

Another review:
The Puzzle Pod is a large, clear, vinyl envelope with a Velcro
closure and adhesive back. Attach the Puzzle Pod to the back of
any puzzle board and fill it with puzzle pieces. Why? So kids can
clean up fast! The Puzzle Pod makes cleaning up easy for young
children who have trouble keeping track of puzzle pieces.
The Puzzle Pod is very sturdy and adheres securely; its pleated
corners expand to allow room for lots of puzzle pieces. The only
drawback is that it is difficult to store puzzles stacked on top
of each other when they have a bulky bag attached to the bottom
side. The plus side is that puzzles can be stored upright in a
basket instead.
In general, I am very happy with the Puzzle Pod. It's always nice
to find something that enables kids to tidy up without needing
Mom's help. The Puzzle Pod is useful for a lot more than storing
puzzles; you can stick it to the inside (or outside) of a binder
to hold note cards and pens securely. Adhere it to the bottom of
a tray and fill it with items for a road trip, or affix it to a
coloring book and fill with crayons. I am also considering attaching
one to the side of my refrigerator for outgoing mail. I'm sure
there are many other uses too!
The Puzzle Pod facilitates quick clean-up and can be used in many
different ways. I recommend the Puzzle Pod to anyone who needs
creative storage solutions for puzzles and more.
