How do I choose between wood and graphic board?
Look at the material listed for the particular puzzle. This selection includes both wood and recycled graphic board; neither a Canadian landscape on the box nor a Canadian shop address tells you where a puzzle was manufactured. Follow the production sources for each maker’s account.
What makes one puzzle harder than another?
Compare the finished dimensions, image detail and cutting pattern alongside the piece count. Repeated colours and unusually shaped pieces can change the experience. Use the maker’s own difficulty guidance, and check age recommendations before choosing a puzzle for a child.
Can I buy directly from these makers?
Use the product and shop links to check current availability, prices, delivery destinations and return terms. The photographs illustrate their work; they do not guarantee that a particular puzzle is in stock. For a gift, check processing and delivery times before ordering.
