Beautiful looking landscapes and scenic jigsaws: You better think twice

You may think scenic jigsaws are stunning to look at once it is finished. But those designs normally contain the same color in big areas that can be super hard, not only for beginners. Try to avoid designs with the sky, snow, mountain, or water because they have pieces with the same color; very frustrating to solve.

Look for good color variations and patterns

Colorful and distinctive pattern puzzles are a good start for beginners. It is easier to pick out from the numbers of puzzle pieces. Avoid black and white or dark and moody puzzles.

Have an ample working space

Please be sure of the puzzle size when it is finished and have enough space to group the puzzle pieces during the assembling process. Plus, make sure your puzzle mat or board also could fit the puzzle you opt to do.

Instead, you can use a plastic puzzle that can hold the pieces together and no glue required. 

Here are some tips to assemble the puzzle:

• Separate the corner and edge pieces
• Face up the all the pieces

• Sort the edge pieces by shape
• Study the design before you start the edge

• If you’re stuck with one area, change to another one
