Assembling Jigsaw Puzzles at Home

Working on puzzles indoors provides a calm activity for grandparents spending time at home. Placing individual interlocking cardboard pieces onto a table slowly reveals a complete image over several hours.

The History of Tabletop Puzzles

The first commercial jigsaw puzzles were created in the eighteenth century as educational tools for teaching geography using wooden maps. Early makers glued printed maps onto thin hardwood sheets before cutting them into small sections with a hand saw. Modern puzzle pieces are mass-produced using dense paperboard stamped by heavy precision dies.
