Nothing beats the sense of achievement from finding that missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle!
They’ve been a staple of entertainment since map engraver, John Spilsbury, created the first jigsaw puzzle in 1762. Mounting one of his master maps onto wood and then cutting around the countries, they would go on to help children with their geography education.
Fast forward more than 200 years and it’s safe to say every single one of us has embarked on the jigsaw puzzle challenge at some point in our lives.
The concept is much the same; frustration at first, the hunt for those all-important edges a good starting point, and then joy (possibly relief!) as the search for interlocking pieces reveals the completed design!
Incorporating a combination of fun, learning, and a challenge, they also bring people together and are perfect for Christmas.
No matter the age or experience, Wentworth Puzzles has everything from a 25-piece to a 1,500-piece puzzle and amateur hobbyists, hardcore puzzle veterans and everyone in between are catered for!
