Whenever I think about wooden jigsaw puzzles, I think of young children's puzzles with pieces thick enough for little hands and large enough to not be a choking hazard. But that was before I received a bunch of CraftHub Premium Wooden puzzles from friends. I have recently found that wooden puzzles for adults are pretty amazing; similar to jigsaw puzzles with pieces and pictures to assemble and similar to mental puzzles that require more brain power to solve.
CraftHub Premium Wooden Puzzles
I had not heard of these type of wooden puzzles for adults until my friends gave me an assortment of them after they were de-cluttering. The tiny puzzle boxes continued my preconception that wooden puzzles were for children. Thank goodness that I'm nosey enough to give one of the puzzles a try before passing them on to charity donations.
The Tree of Life puzzle was the first one I tried and I was enchanted. I love jigsaw puzzles. I work on jigsaw puzzles multiple times a week, almost daily in fact. The unique shapes increased the level of difficulty. The hook shaped "arms" connected the pieces firmly while other pieces only abutted next to each other.
The CraftHub premium wooden puzzles are described as:
- Laser Cut Details
- Interesting and unusual shapes
- Vibrant colors
- For older children and adults (smaller pieces are choking hazards)
- A3 size = finished size approximately 11" x 16"
- A4 size = finished size approximatley 8 1/2" x 11
- Variety of themes - Harry Potter, DC comics, Lord of the Rings, Animals, and Scenery
My Experience with My First CraftHub Puzzle
I enjoyed these little puzzles immensely. As I said above, I only opened the box because I was nosey. I was in the middle of chores and other activities and had originally planned on just looking at the pieces. The colors were so vibrant and the pieces so unique that I could not stop returning to that puzzle over the weekend to work on it. Then I couldn't wait to start on the Owl puzzle.
Some of these puzzles were unopened and some had been used. The used puzzles showed absolutely no wear or damage. With some jigsaw puzzles, the pieces can become bent. Or the picture layer can begin to peel from the lower, solid layer. These wooden pieces showed none of that.
Some folks may consider these puzzles as too difficult. Or stressful. But I enjoyed the challenge and felt accomplished after I finished. I am looking forward to completing the remainder of the puzzles passed down to me, then adding new designs to my collection.
