Who they're for

Puzzles are one of the few categories with a big adult share. Going by the age on the box, about 26% are 12+ or adult puzzles, 38% are rated from 3–4 years and around 11% suit toddlers. Jigsaws start at £17, the median price is £35, and over 910 cost less than £30.

Pieces and magnets

Jigsaw pieces and puzzle-box parts are small parts, so keep adult puzzles away from children under 3. About 130 lines use magnets, such as magnetic puzzle cubes and magnetic boards. Store any loose magnets well out of reach of small children.
