Choosing a puzzle for a child is quite a challenge. Currently on the market there are many types and models of jigsaw puzzles, which can be used to arrange a myriad of characters, illustrations, views or animals. For bigger children the choice of the puzzles may not matter, but the first puzzles should be relatively easy to arrange by the child. Then from the very beginning they will have a good attitude to this kind of toy and will want to put together new and more difficult combinations.
