Jigsaw puzzles and games are very important learning tools for kids of all ages. From problem solving to cognitive development, they encourage strategic thinking as well as giving kids valuable “screen-free” down time, which as most parents know is so valuable.

But most importantly they’re fun and provide precious family time, to relax and have a good old laugh! We’ve played them all here in Mr Wolf so don’t hesitate to call for advice if you’re struggling to choose.
