July Sale: Puzzles!

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 16:00:45 GMT

So many puzzles from 9 to 9000 pieces!

July is upon us! Looking to do a chill family activity inside and out of the heat?
Puzzles can be a great family project - lasting anywhere from a few moments to a few days, even a few months if you are up for it!

Our recommendation for a fun family starter puzzle would be one of Cobble Hill's 350 piece puzzles pictured on the right or Springbok's 400 piece puzzles pictured in the center right. Both brands have families of all skill levels in mind - with big pieces for small hands (or tired eyes!) mixed in with smaller pieces.

These puzzles are both fun and challenging and you'll soon find out why they are one of our best sellers - even for solo puzzlers looking to pass an afternoon!

Poetry contest incoming!
