Panorama Puzzle

Another month, another puzzle done! This time around, I have been piecing the panorama-shaped puzzle that I had bought from Erasmus Darwin House’s puzzle sales. This is quite an unusually shaped puzzle, I have had to use two white foam boards to make the base for the puzzle. I loved the scenery depicted in the picture, but it is quite inconvenient to physically move around to puzzle to piece it, especially as the puzzle is wide. It is not my favourite shape to do. Nevertheless, the end result is amazing!

Another month, another jigsaw puzzle completed. Whenever I have spare time, I like to keep myself busy with my hobby! Piecing jigsaw puzzles together! Recently, my friend, who is selling her house, has been clearing items and gifted me two of her puzzles. Both puzzles were at least 15 years old! The quality was okay. One thing I love about jigsaw puzzles is that they are evergreen items. It doesn’t matter if it’s 10 years or 20 years time, the puzzle will still be in good condition if it’s stored properly.

Jigsaw Puzzle Sales At Erasmus Darwin House

Normally I don’t like to go crazy with buying jigsaw puzzles, but this hobby has become more and more serious for me. Therefore, can you imagine how I felt when I saw an advert for the largest jigsaw puzzle sales at Erasmus Darwin House (15^th March 2023)? I did give it a lot of thought as to whether I should swing by at all as I already have 8 unopened puzzles at home! Since it was the first day of the teachers’ strike, I decided to pop out with my daughter to check it out.

Clementoni Jigsaw Puzzle

Last Christmas, I bought a lot of brand new jigsaw puzzles during the sales and came across Clementoni. I didn’t know they made jigsaw puzzles. I only knew of this brand through STEM toys that I had reviewed. I did wonder if the quality of the puzzles is any good, but still ended up buying six boxes of the Clementoni jigsaw puzzles. In total, I must have bought 10 boxes of random puzzles! My new year resolution is to challenge myself to do a puzzle a month.

Gibsons Puzzle Lucky Dip

One of my favourite hobbies is solving jigsaw puzzles. I do sometimes find them quite stressful, but at the same time, very satisfying when I find the missing pieces. I probably do an average of 4 – 6 puzzles a year. Recently, I’ve done more than usual as I bought three packets of Gibsons puzzle lucky dips. In total, I have 9 different puzzles to do. It didn’t take me long to complete them all; a 1000 piece set will probably take me 3 or 4 evenings.

Carnovsky Jungle Jigsaw Puzzle Review

This unique 3 Pictures in 1 Jungle jigsaw puzzle’s illustrations were created by the artistic duo Carnovsky. Using three different images that sit on top of each other, the resulting picture is mesmerising.

By using one of the three different colour viewing glasses (Red, Green & Blue provided in the puzzle) to help you to isolate each layer of the image, turn one puzzle into three stunning pictures or you can scan the QR code to turn your mobile device into a magical viewing lens.

Did you know the benefits of piecing jigsaw puzzles? First, they are a great tool for mindfulness. What I mean by mindfulness is that by focusing on placing the pieces together, it helps you to shut out day-to-day stresses and worries, especially during times like these.
