Piece together the magical adventure of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker ballet with this unique musical jigsaw puzzle.

Begin with a musical puzzle frame that outlines in illustrations and text the key events of The Nutcracker story - from the special gift Clara receives from her uncle on Christmas Eve, a wooden nutcracker shaped like a soldier, to the toy's transformation into a prince who takes Clara on a tour of his kingdom, the Land of Sweets.

Using the full puzzle image on the poster as a reference, put together an enchanting illustration showing Clara, her grand Christmas tree, the nutcracker and some of the fantastic characters she meets on her adventure. Then press the musical notes to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Tchaikovsky's original score. Imagine dancers leaping through the air and spinning furiously across the stage to the classic 'Russian Dance', the Sugar Plum Fairy dancing delicately to the sparkly sound of the celesta and more.

Flip the poster over to find additional details on the story's happy ending and biographical information about the composer and how the music connects with the story.
