We recently rediscovered puzzles at our house. What a perfect rainy day activity! And I totally zen-ed out finishing ours the other Saturday morning over coffee. It was a lovely entry-to-the-day activity that wasn’t on my phone (hooray!) It’s a fun way to do something entertaining that doesn’t require too much energy or concentration, so it’s great for encouraging conversation, too.
We’ve solidly moved into 300-piece range with Sienna recently. You all know I am the pickiest when it comes to design of…anything, so the thought of leaving ugly puzzles sitting out, well, it’s just not happening at my house. Our first foray back into puzzles here was a gorgeous Charley Harper farm illustration. I loved it so much I thought I’d share a roundup of my favorite, actually pretty puzzles you wouldn’t mind leaving on your dining room or coffee table.
Pretty Puzzles By Piece Number
300 Pieces
Charley Harper Gorman Heritage Farm Puzzle
Charley Harper Wings of the World
500 Pieces
Charley Harper Secret Sanctuary
1000 Pieces
If you have any gorgeous finds, as always, please share! I’m thinking of adding a few of these into our rotation. When I don’t feel like knitting but want something calming, when Sienna and I have a little time to just chill between activities or before dinner, when Pinky and I can’t agree on a TV show to watch together (always), this steps in as a rewarding, but chill activity. Win-win for the household and my eyes. Artwork for your dining table. Fabulous.

I love Hartmaze puzzles, super challenging, but they are beautiful and made out of wood 🙂
Ooh, so cool!
Fun post! Inspired me to order this one to do with my 7 year olds (they would also love the Mudpuppy dog puzzle you linked to, but 1000 pieces is a little beyond us for now): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735353824/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Oh my gosh that is so cute, thanks!
Great post! We love puzzles, I just ordered some you recommended. I also like the Springbok puzzles because they have large pieces for kids, medium sized pieces for older kids, and small pieces for adults. Perfect family style puzzles.
Oh, nice I’ll have to check them out. Thank you!
Thank you! I’ll totally have to check those out!
We’d given up on puzzles for a while, but I’m re-inspired! Some of these are really frame-worthy.
Ah I’m glad this inspired to give them a whirl again. If I’m gonna stare at something that long I want it to be pretty 😉 haha
Liberty Puzzles (https://www.libertypuzzles.com/) are totally expensive, absolutely beautiful and make wonderful housewarming gifts or thanks for letting us stay with you on vacation gifts. The shapes of the pieces are intricate and fun and they also make kids puzzles.
