Kids' puzzles — FAQs

What age should a child start doing puzzles?

Babies enjoy simple knob puzzles from around 10–12 months. Chunky 2–6 piece puzzles suit toddlers, 12–24 piece puzzles work well at 3–4, and from 5+ children can tackle larger jigsaws and floor puzzles.

Are puzzles good for child development?

Absolutely. Puzzles build fine motor skills, shape and colour recognition, spatial reasoning, memory and persistence — all while feeling like play.

What are the best puzzles for toddlers?

Look for chunky wooden knob or peg puzzles with 2–8 large pieces and clear, friendly pictures. Self-correcting puzzles, where pieces only fit one way, are ideal for building early confidence.

What's the difference between wooden and jigsaw puzzles?

Wooden puzzles are sturdy and tactile — perfect for little hands and repeated play — while cardboard jigsaws offer more pieces and intricate artwork for older children. We stock both.
