Some people living with dementia might have once loved a 500 or 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, but the chances are they’ll now find them too much of a struggle. Our 63 Piece Jigsaws are designed to bring all the same joy, while being a lot simpler.
The larger pieces help people to complete the jigsaw as independently as possible, giving them a greater sense of satisfaction and pride upon completion.
The lovely images might even bring back memories, if they chose it for its reminiscence value. You can also spark a discussion using the questions inside the box or make up ones of your own.

Some of the puzzle themes can nicely lead onto another activity. For example, if someone is doing Monet’s Garden Puzzle, why not then create a flower arrangement for everyone to admire?
