My children, especially my oldest like working on puzzles. It’s a great way to put your mind at ease and practice basic problem solving. I recently had the opportunity to send in a photo to The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company and have a 50 piece personalized puzzle created for review.
The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company was founded in 1994. They specialize in unique and finely crafted wooden jigsaw puzzles that are made in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Their team uses computer-controlled lasers to manufacture more than 150,000 puzzles every year.
To honor the Victorian puzzle-making tradition, ‘whimsies’ are created in their puzzles. Whimsies are pieces that reflect the nature of the puzzle, like elephants and tigers for an African savannah scene. My three little, sometimes wild children have animals randomly cut into the puzzle pieces. See the hippo?
There is an elephant hidden here.
And this could be a lioness or cougar.
Wentworth Puzzles manufacture a variety of jigsaws. They can have as few as 25 pieces and up to 1,500 pieces for more of a challenge. To personalize your puzzle, they can transform your favorite photo, or even a painting or drawing into custom-made jigsaw. They work well as a gift for any occasion.
