Christmas Jigsaw Puzzles

Enjoying the quality time as a family that completing a jigsaw puzzle can offer is special at any time of the year, but it’s especially special at Christmas which (in my mind anyway) is all about spending time with family and friends and enjoying each other’s company.

I think that the idea of having specific Christmas jigsaw puzzles to complete make the whole experience more festive.

If you’re a ‘grown up ‘ family then pour yourselves each a glass of wine or grab a bottle of beer and start the family jigsaw puzzle time.   If you have children then make sure they have some milk and cookies and encourage them to help as well.  

Teaching your children to do jigsaw puzzles will really help them do well in school as they have to try and use their cognitive skills.   Jigsaw puzzles really do help children learn how to problem solve - you can start off by teaching them to separate the corner pieces first and then the straight edges to help them learn about the logical way of tackling things.

There are a number of different places where you can purchase Christmas jigsaw puzzles, but I like to get them online as I find a larger selection available.  

There’s a new company that has just entered the jigsaw puzzle market and that’s Zazzle who offers you the chance to get personalized jigsaw puzzles.
