JIGSAW PUZZLES = BRAIN FOOD

We're not experts...but good common sense suggests not only can jigsaw puzzles be fun and challenging, but they can be great brain food!
Jigsaw puzzles provide brain exercise and training, and help develop the ability to reason, analyze, improve hand-eye coordination, etc. As you solve a jigsaw puzzle, you engage your brain to retain information on shapes and colours in order to choose pieces that will fit together properly. This entire hunt for pieces denotes that your brain will need to memorize what each piece looks like or should look like and what kinds of pieces you are searching for in order to complete the picture. Doing this repeatedly reinforces short-term memory.
Medical reasons aside...solving a single piece to completing a jigsaw puzzle can be very satisfying.

We offer many types of new and used jigsaw puzzles by many different makers that we have found in our travels...3D, cork, wood, cardboard, plastic, round, square, landscapes, buildings, animals, space, cartoon, vintage, artwork, etc.

When we find used jigsaw puzzles, we take the time to do the puzzle, challenge our brains, to make sure all pieces are there for the next puzzler. Listed as *complete* in our stores.

And yes...from time to time we get to the end and find a piece or six missing, but we suck it up and go on....knowing at the very least we have helped our brain :)
