Jigsaw For Three Year Old.

[smurfchops]

Where is the best shop or supermarket (not online) to get a decent jigsaw for a three year old? The Works jigsaws look a bit cheap, a better quality at a reasonable price would be good. Thanks all.

Would Early Days shops have puzzles for little ones?

Not sure if Sandy might mean Early Learning Centre - we used to buy a lot of stuff from them, but it was a long time ago

it looks as though Argos have some as well. Loads on Amazon of course but you don't want online

Is there an ELC near you? https://www.elc.co.uk/search/?text=jigsaws%20for%203%20year%20olds&;ageRange=3%20-%204%20years

Have you looked in the supermarkets?

How about wentworth jigsaws - they make them for the age group and in wood too - and beautifully made. Their adult ones are great fun too as they include various whimsies and more straight edges than the perimeter pieces just to add a bit more confusion!

Good suggestion, DTC, I’ve seen their puzzles in those garden centres that sell lots of gifts, cream teas and a few plants

WH Smith will have good ones.

Don’t forget to check in the charity shops too, wrap it nicely and they’ll never know!!

Thanks for all your ideas, guys :)

Many, many years ago I bought a wooden puzzle for a friend’s young son from a seller in Convent Garden. The puzzle was very simple, consisting of the child’s name in separate letters that had to be fitted within a cut-out frame in the correct order.

Sometime later my friend informed me that his son had corrected his nursery school teacher who had mis-spelt his name on a coat peg; the teacher saying that she had never before had her spelling corrected by a 3 year old.
