Fairies in the Garden 24 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

This mini jigsaw puzzle fits a whole fairy garden into 24 card pieces, and once finished it makes a neat square 15cm across each way. On a deep teal-blue ground, three fairies drift between oversized blooms: one flies across the top on wide white wings, one stands in a pale petal skirt with pink wings, and a red-haired fairy in pink with golden wings lifts her arms beside a tall stem of white bell flowers. Around them sit orange and pink flowers, white daisies, blue forget-me-nots and bluebells, two butterflies, and leaves and dots in green, blue and pink. The pieces are thin card, about 0.2cm thick, and the whole puzzle weighs 32g, so it travels in its own small cube box, printed with the same scene.

It is a puzzle made for a slow, quiet moment: big enough to give a proper picture, small enough to finish in one sitting at the kitchen table or on a tray. The shapes are clear and the scene is busy with colour, so each flower, wing and butterfly gives you a clue to where the next piece goes. Because it is so light and the box is so compact, it slips into a bag for a train journey, a rainy afternoon away or a weekend with friends, and the finished square looks cheerful left out on a desk or a shelf before it goes back in the box.

The interlocking pieces are cut from printed card with plain green backs, and the finished puzzle has rounded corners. Card does not like water, so keep the pieces dry and away from damp, and pop them back into the cube box after each go so none goes missing. We think it makes a small, cheerful present that is easy to wrap, and it sits nicely beside a book of fairy tales or a bunch of garden flowers.
