OK, I'm sure this was obvious to some of you, but how do you open the box without destroying it? My daughter does not want me to harm the pictures.

This method worked well for me: Flip the side of the puzzle box so the flap that has the bar code is facing you. Take a box cutter and carefully cut across the bottom of the flap then cut each side of the flap and the box side will now flip up, revealing a thick cardboard flap with a half cut in it. Pull it open and you will find the puzzle pieces in a bag. Be sure to store the puzzle on its side, standing upright, cut flap facing up. ref: http://www.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_open_Disney_princess_lenticular_puzzle_boxes After inspecting the box, this would of also worked well if I did the side opposite the bar code. On the side opposite the bar code, make sure the text is aligned correctly, then you need to cut along the top (above the frozen logo and through the top of the 48-pieces logo) instead of the bottom. Then along the sides. This cut would of been preferred because then the flap is on the top of the box instead of the bottom.

Good luck! The box was not constructed well so I had to tape all corners after it was opened. The picture on the box is still intact :)

I just received my order and it came in a plain brown amazon box. It is a christmas gift and i'm not happy about a 2 year old opening the wrapping paper to find a box with no picture. Didn't realize it defaults to frustration free packaging. If it is a gift, make sure you select standard packaging.

Same...bought a Canon camera. The box was unsealed but manual etc were in plastic wrap. Camera was in a thick white sheet.

well, I didn't open it up -- not sure you could do that without breaking the plastic housing, which is sealed. good question, tho: anyone else tried it?

i'm having trouble opening it as well. Please let me know how you end up opening it. Thanks!

I'd run a strip of tape or a strap around the box, just for insurance, because it's possible the handle/lock could be hit and lifted up. The box itself will survive nearly anything!

As far as i know you can't open it - so i use an air compressor or a can of the air bomb that they use for computers !!! Hope this helps you !!

There is a paper with pictures showing you how to do this... There's no way I could explain it. It was very frustrating at first till I figured it out. Now, after a few times of doing it, I rarely need to look at the picture to remember how to do it. Piece of advice, though, make sure you don't throw away or lose that paper and keep it in the bag for reference! LOL!

I am sorry I cannto help here. I ordered it and sent it directly to the child as a gift. I never saw it opened. Good luck to you.

Honestly, I have no idea. I was pretty frustrated the whole time. Oh...you know what I think they might mean? The outer package has a little tab and you can open and close it like a cereal box. If only they had used a cardboard box and invested the money in designing a decent product to go inside.

Also, be careful on how you open the shipping box. I used a steak knife to cut the tape and sliced into one of the packets. My bad!

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

Hi. I'll be honest, I gave this to all the girls in my class and wouldn't let them open it at school because of the parts...I didn't want them lost. I really don't know. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Great video. That's the same sound. Perfect too as I was just thinking about doing something like this and inspected the bottom of the unit. The hello kitty model must be sealed shut in the factory as it's quite a different shape compared to some of the other animals.... There are no screws or openable areas at all! I even removed the four rubber feet, thinking there would be a screw underneath each one- no dice. Absolutely no way to get inside. I am tempted to cut it open with a dremel.

This reminds me: I've never opened the box. Been sitting in my basement since about Christmas. If I'd thought there was a bottle opener inside, I might have taken a look. Actually, I've been getting by fine with a much smaller opener.

By the time I got thru the exterior insane packaging that want so bad. Holy moly that box was crazy. I just peeled it off I think? It's been a great table but getting it open was exhausting!!

The boxes aren't sealed that I know of. If you are worried about it you can take a picture, press the play button to see the picture and if the title is the number "1" then you've taken the first picture.
