Oh man, where do I even start? So, Ravensburger puzzles—like, they’re kind of the holy grail if you’re into puzzling. Seriously, I’ve got a bunch and they’re pretty awesome. The pieces, they’re like super solid and none of that dusty nonsense in the box. But there is a catch, they cost a bit more than some of those other brands. Guess you get what you pay for, right?
So imagine my surprise when I stumbled onto Amazon and saw they’re having this wild sale. It’s like finding a twenty in an old jacket. Last time I saw discounts like this? May, I think? But those were just for the 1,000-piecers. Now, it’s a mixed bag with stuff for both adults and kids. If you’re as addicted as I am, you probably wanna jump on this.
Okay, let’s talk about the sale. It’s one of those Amazon lightning deals—stocks are limited. So if everyone suddenly decides they need a puzzle, the discounts might vanish. But honestly? They hardly ever hit those limits. At least, not from what I’ve seen.
What should you check out? I’ve got a list of the best picks above. There’s something for everyone—gotta love the kid-friendly stuff. Oh, and the Disney Toy Store puzzle? Not exactly in the sale, but priced lower than ever. It’s got all those Pixar movie details. Feels kinda like that Craft Cupboard puzzle that’s also discounted.
For the kiddos, there’s some cool stuff. The Animals of the World set, with two 12-piece puzzles—perfect for the little ones. And for the slightly bigger kids? Maybe the Horse Dreams 100-piece or the Cosmic Connection at 150 pieces.
Now, what’s a good puzzle piece count for kids? Honestly, there’s no hard rule. It’s kind of like trying to figure out if your cat wants to sit on your lap or just cause chaos. My two-year-old nephew handled some 12-piece Spider-Man puzzles like a champ. If they’ve shown interest, that 3+ thing on the box is a good guide—usually 12 or 24 pieces.
For older kids already bitten by the puzzle bug, maybe keep it to 300 pieces or less. You can always tackle more pieces together, but those 1,000-piece beasts are usually for the grown-ups and teens.
And hey, speaking of adults, a puzzle storage or board? Fantastic gift idea. Those bigger puzzles, they take forever, and if you can’t stash ’em or have a dedicated spot, they might just gather dust. Thankfully, there are a ton of solutions for that out there.
