Why choose jigsaw puzzles as a Christmas gift?

A gift that stimulates the mind.

Puzzles are not just fun. They are powerful tools for cognitive, motor, and emotional development. Offering a puzzle gives a child the opportunity to learn while having fun, developing skills such as concentration, logic, fine motor skills, and problem-solving.

A moment of sharing

Unlike many technological toys, jigsaw puzzles promote quality family time. Parents, siblings, and grandparents can join the child and assemble them together, creating affectionate memories that last long after Christmas.

A lasting gift

Unlike toys that quickly become obsolete, jigsaw puzzles remain current. They can be assembled multiple times or even glued together and framed, becoming decorative pieces in a child's room.

Puzzles for every age and stage of development.

Our collection has been organized so that you can find the perfect gift according to the child's age. Each puzzle has been chosen taking into account the number of pieces, size, complexity, and the most suitable themes.

Children aged 2 to 4 years

For younger children, we have puzzles with large, sturdy, and easy-to-handle pieces. The images are simple and colorful, with themes such as animals, vehicles, shapes, or everyday scenes. These puzzles help develop hand-eye coordination, visual perception, and vocabulary.

Children aged 5 to 7 years

At this stage, children are ready for puzzles with more pieces and details. Themes include favorite movie characters, illustrated maps, Christmas scenes, and fun animals. Progressive puzzles are also very popular at this age, allowing you to gradually increase the difficulty.

Children aged 8 to 10 years old

Here the challenges begin with 100, 150, or even 300 pieces. The images become more complex and realistic. Children gain autonomy, learn to plan, and persevere in the face of challenges. Options include world maps, nature scenes, detailed illustrations, and much more.

Children aged 11 and up

Pre-teens can enjoy jigsaw puzzles with 500 or more pieces, featuring artistic, cultural, or fantasy themes. These puzzles are great for relaxing, concentrating, and stimulating logical thinking. They are also excellent tools for indirect learning, such as geography or history puzzles.

Themes that spark the imagination.

Christmas and Winter

Puzzles featuring Christmas scenes, snowmen, reindeer, Santa Claus, and magical villages. They're perfect for getting into the holiday spirit and keeping children entertained during the holidays.

Animals and nature

From farm animals to exotic habitats, jigsaw puzzles featuring fauna and flora are always a hit. They allow children to discover and learn about the natural world in a playful way.

Movies and cartoons

Disney characters, Frozen, Stitch, Paw Patrol, Super Mario, Harry Potter and many others. These puzzles connect to the child's emotional world, making the experience more engaging and fun.

Maps and educational illustration

World maps, maps of Europe, puzzles with letters, numbers or professions. These models combine learning and play, ideal for school-aged children.
