Okay, where do I start… So, I’ve had this thing with Ravensburger puzzles for like, ever. And not to sound too much like an ad, but these puzzles—they really get to me. The pieces are thick and all, and there’s none of that weird dusty stuff in the box that you might find elsewhere. But, heads up, they’re pricier than some others. Sometimes you gotta pay for that good stuff, I guess. Well, anyway…
So, Amazon, right? They’re running a pretty sweet sale on these puzzles right now. I remember the last time they did this was around May, but that was just for those 1,000-piece monsters (which I love, by the way). Now though, they’ve got options for everyone—kids, adults, you name it. Seriously, if you’re a puzzle junkie like me… just don’t wait too long to check it out.
Oh, shoot, almost forgot—these deals are mostly Amazon lightning deals. What does that mean? Basically, there’s only so much stock with the discount, and once it’s gone, poof, it’s gone. Although, let’s be honest, I’ve covered these kinds of sales before, and it seems like that limit never really gets hit. Weird, right?
Anyway—or wait—let me think… yeah, so, if you’re wondering what to snag during this sale, I piled up my top picks. There’s a fun mix—some for kiddos, some for grown-ups. The Disney Toy Store 1000-piece is a standout, not technically in the sale, but hey, its price just dipped to the lowest in months. Tons of Pixar details, it’s got a Craft Cupboard vibe, and they even knocked some bucks off of that one too.
Speaking of kids, got littles around? They’ve got this Animals of the World Puzzle pack that’s super bright and cheery. Comes with two 12-piece puzzles—ideal if your little munchkin’s around three. And for slightly older ones, the Horse Dreams set with 100 pieces is worth a look. Or even check out the 150-piece Cosmic Connection. It’s… celestial?
Now, what about piece counts? There’s no magic number. I mean, you see 3+ on boxes, but some kids pick it up sooner. My nephew, just two, tackled a 12-piece Spider-Man puzzle like a champ. So, if your toddler’s already got the puzzle bug, lean into that 3+ range.
For older ones who’ve caught the bug, maybe aim for 300 pieces or less. Jump in with them if you want to go higher, but saving the big 500- or 1,000-piece ones for adults and teens is probably wise.
And just tossing this out—if you wanna gift (or treat yourself), consider a puzzle table or board. Larger puzzles are time-consuming, and if you don’t have a spot to leave them or store them away, finishing them can turn into a major hassle. Luckily, there’s gear out there to help with that.
Okay—where was I? Oh right, puzzles!
