Choose a picture that interests the person

Our jigsaw range includes seaside, picnic and high-street scenes. A familiar subject can give you something to look at and talk about together. Choose a picture that reflects the person’s interests rather than relying on the product category alone.

Compare the puzzle details

Before ordering, check the piece count, piece size, completed dimensions and any tray or board described on the product page. These details vary between puzzles. The illustration shows the seaside design from our catalogue; check the listing for the exact supplied format.

Make space for a relaxed activity

Use a comfortable table with room for the picture and pieces. You could begin by looking at the artwork together or finding a few recognisable parts of the scene. There is no need to finish the whole puzzle in one sitting; let the person choose how much they want to do.

Follow their interest

Talking about a detail in the picture can be as much a part of the activity as placing a piece. If the puzzle is not enjoyable, leave it for another time or choose a different activity. Explore the products below to compare pictures, specifications and current prices.
