Puzzle of the Day – Chat Noir

Posted on by

Today’s puzzle brings you back to 19th century France. More precisely, it brings you closer to the bohemian district of Paris, Montmartre, and to its famous cabaret, Le Chat Noir (French for “The Black Cat”). Opened by Rodolphe Salis, an artist, Le Chat Noir soon became famous as a place where you could stumble not only upon artists, but also upon some of the most famous men in France, if you believe the publicity of Salis himself.

Euro Graphics brings you this week’s puzzle of the day, a jigsaw puzzle representing a famous advertising for a tour of the cabaret artists to other cities. The original poster, safely displayed in a museum, is the work of Theophile Steinen, a Swiss-born painter and printmaker. The jigsaw puzzle is itself a work of art, featuring no less than 1000 pieces. With 19.25 x 26.5 inches, it is made from recycled board, printed on recycled paper with vegetable based ink.

You will definitely have to admire the superior quality of this beautiful jigsaw puzzle—at least as much as the image it depicts. It will not give you headaches, as it isn’t a difficult puzzle, but that does not mean you can’t enjoy it. The picture stands for something and it represents a rare work of art with a 19th century touch that will perfectly fit any of the walls in your house.

This is the kind of jigsaw puzzle that, once assembled, will never go back in the box, so you’d better buy some glue and a frame from the start.

Posted on by

What is soft, has a moist nose and loves to purr? Here is a hint: it says, “meow.”

Today’s jigsaw puzzle of the day is a special and sweet one: a cute and sleepy kitten packed in a lovely red dotted box – Endearing Cat.

This furry domestic mammal isn’t valued just for its companionship, but also for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. Did you know that a cat sleeps two thirds of its life (65%), spends 25% cleaning itself and it eats and plays 5% of its life? Or that they use to purr not only when they are happy and comfortable, but also when they are afraid of something or someone or when they are in pain? And here is a fact that we are sure you will find very amusing: cats purr at the same frequency as a Diesel engine.

If your child wants a cat, but you still think that it is too early for him to get one, you can pleasantly surprise him with this fluffy 100 large pieces puzzle by Ravensburger. Everybody loves a cute kitten and enjoys even the sight of it, so the puzzle is bound to bring lots of joy in your house. With a finished size of 14.25″ X 19.3″, it’s just the perfect jigsaw puzzle to assemble and frame in your kids room. Or even in yours, if you’re the big cat lover we suspect and if you secretly like to purr.

3D Magna Puzzles

Posted on by

Some of the most interesting jigsaw puzzles made for children, the 3D Magna puzzles can offer you an unique experience. They are made for children because they are small, and there’s not that much challenge in assembling them as, let’s say, in a 1000 pieces puzzle. But they tend to compensate this lack of difficulty by some other qualities that make them more than just mere jigsaw puzzles.

The 3D Magna Puzzles available at Puzzle Warehouse have only 6 pieces, and measure only 7 inches. But these are some pretty special inches. The 3D Magna Puzzles are magnetic puzzles. That means two things. First, the metal tin which contains them also serves as a base to solve the puzzle on. Second, if you don’t like the tin, you can try them on your fridge.

The magnetic pieces are not irregularly shaped, like regular jigsaw puzzle pieces, they are square instead. But the best thing about them is the 3d part. The pictures are three dimensional, and they give the illusion of depth and movement. The technique used is called lenticular printing, and it helps create hologram-style images.

The clown fish puzzle can serve as a mini aquarium in your child’s room and the Spiral Rainbow 3D Magna puzzle can hypnotize your guests with the optical illusion it creates.

You can find a small collection of 3D Magna Puzzles at Puzzle Warehouse, all of them at some amazingly low prices. Make a child happy or simply decorate your fridge with a beautiful design made to last, and you won’t regret having chosen these nice magnetic puzzles.
