Wooden jigsaw puzzles have been very popular for years, and now you have the opportunity to discover their unique quality and charm - they are solid, environmentally friendly and perfect for little hands. Check out our available collection of Wooden Puzzles and see why so many have come to love them!
We are extremely pleased to know that Joanna Pachla - our expert and founder of the lifestyle blog, along with her children, Zosia and Staszek, is also a puzzle lover. In her own words:
For us, puzzles are more than just another toy. Above all, it's a great tool for supporting a child's motor, sensory and emotional development. Especially wooden puzzles, which have larger, thicker pieces that are easier to grasp in the hand. Thanks to them, the toddler exercises his manual skills, hand-eye coordination, but also patience, perceptiveness and concentration.
Are you ready for a whole new experience in putting together puzzles?
Wooden Puzzle - durability and high resistance to damage
Deciding to buy any of the wooden puzzle sets presented below, you will easily find that they have significant advantages over traditional cardboard puzzles.
First, jigsaw puzzles made of selected wood are so-called “products for many years”, as they are much more durable than cardboard ones.
Secondly, wooden puzzle pieces are much more resistant to mechanical damage than those made of delicate materials such as the aforementioned cardboard. Thanks to the high quality of materials and careful manufacturing of the products, you can use the colorful wood puzzles for a long period of time, which undoubtedly makes them an excellent and thoughtful solution for families with children.
The advantages of wood puzzles are also argued by Joanna Pachla, who appreciatively notes that:
The material is not without significance here. Children learn to perceive the world with all their senses, and wood, after all, has not only an interesting texture for them, but also a fascinating, specific smell. If we add to this various shapes and contrasting colors, we already get a real feast for the senses. On top of that, such toys are much more ecological and aesthetically pleasing than the plastic attacking us from everywhere. After all, there is a reason why we have whole methods recommending the use of wooden toys, such as the Montessori method. Not to mention that wood is such a durable and solid material that such puzzles will successfully survive many, even the most intensive user.
Wooden Puzzle 24 pieces - eco-friendly wood puzzles for the youngest children
For toddlers over 3 years old who have had their first jigsaw puzzle experience and are looking for a new challenge, we suggest choosing a puzzle consisting of 24 pieces, such as those starring The Treflik Family.
Fabulously colorful wooden puzzles for children titled Meet The Treflik Family are a perfect gift for small fans of Treflik and Treflinka adventures, whose heroes the youngest associate with from the screen.
The individual elements of the puzzle have been adjusted to the individual needs of the youngest users - rounded edges and regular shape of the elements in an adequate size make the puzzle perfect for a toddler who is at least 3 years old.
It is worth noting that the back of the puzzle hides a nice surprise in the form of a decorative motif. In our opinion, this can guarantee that the puzzle will give the child even more joy than originally expected!
Alternatively, we recommend to arrange a wooden puzzle with other characters from the world of fairy tales - there, too, in the picture, the toddler will find popular siblings that he knows very well from the TV screen. It is worth reaching for the puzzle Meet the adorable Peppa and check how the cheerful piggy spends her time playing with her brother and friends.
Of course, Peppa's little brother George poses in the picture with his favorite animal, the dinosaur, and none other than dinosaurs are the leitmotif of the next puzzle, which we recommend to fans of prehistoric reptiles. Be sure to reach for the wooden set of 24 elements Meet the Dinosaurs and together with your child move straight to Jurassic Park to experience breathtaking emotions!
And once the little ones have mastered the art of assembling pictures from 24 pieces, we encourage them to reach for puzzle sets with more pieces.
As our expert emphasizes:
It is also important to gradually increase the degree of difficulty for the child. For while 24 elements will be great for a three-year-old, a five-year-old should already be interested in puzzles with 50 elements. This is important both from the point of view of development and so that the toddler does not get tired or bored. Fortunately, on the market today we have a huge selection of puzzles - including those with favorite fairy tale characters. So you can easily match them to the preferences and abilities of our child. This way he learns through play, and we get a relatively inexpensive and really cool way to spend quality time together. Let's also remember that puzzles - including wooden ones - are an intergenerational adventure. Parents, grandparents and grandchildren can all put them together at the same table. And there are few entertainments in which every member of the family can successfully find themselves - that's why I would appreciate them here all the more strongly.
Wooden Puzzle 50 elements - uncommon pictures for puzzle fans!
If your kid is already over 5 years old and has a lot of experience in completing pictures, then we encourage you to choose puzzles that are a bit more complicated.
Choose Wooden Puzzle sets by Trefl, which have 50 elements, and among them you will additionally discover 10 unique puzzle figures.
In the package we have hidden amazing puzzles of irregular shapes made of natural wood and created, among others, for real fans of Adventures with Paw Patrol in the lead role. On the reverse side of the puzzle, the child will notice a decorative motif just like in the case of smaller sets of 24 pieces. Already now the toddler can experience new sensations of arranging wooden puzzles and move to the world of Paw Patrol cartoon!
And when your little one has already enjoyed the new challenges and decided to return from the Bay of Adventures, then reach together for another set of puzzles, whose hero is Merry Stitch. This cheerful character from the world of fairy tales is sure to bring a wide smile to the face of the toddler, and at the same time help him in his cognitive and manual development.

A little more on this subject can hint at our next puzzle heroine, who undeniably presents an above-average level of creativity. It's definitely worth it for your child to meet the talented, charming and generous Gabby from the Gabby's Dollhouse. Be sure to explore the Merry Gabby jigsaw puzzle set with your child, and let this set be an inspiration to learn new skills together and develop hidden talents!
And about why it is worth doing it together, we want to convince you with the words of our expert:
And there is one more important thing to keep somewhere in the back of your mind. And that is: that nothing encourages a child to try a particular activity as much as trying to imitate a parent. So how do you convince a toddler to take an interest in puzzles? The best way: by putting them together with him or by his side. And satisfaction from the arranged picture - for both parties guaranteed!
Trefl brand puzzles are about experiencing a unique puzzle experience
Speaking of wooden puzzles from the Wooden Puzzle series, it would be worthwhile for you to focus on their essential advantages, and we don't mean only aesthetic impressions, although these are undoubtedly insanely important. But abstracting from the available collection of beautiful designs, we would like to draw your attention to the additional tactile sensations you will experience while assembling each set.
See for yourself - try to complete your first set of puzzles manufactured from wood and evaluate the pleasant sensory experience that accompanies it. It's worth feeling the subtle difference when comparing the solid, smoothed Wooden Puzzle piece held in your hand, which, thanks to its unique features, surpasses in quality the lightweight piece traditionally produced from cardboard.
Is it worth it to opt for wooden puzzles?
If you're still asking yourself whether it's worth it to opt for a wooden jigsaw puzzle, we'd like to share with you some important arguments that will reassure you of the right choice.
-
A product that can be described as “entertainment for years” - Instead of buying cardboard puzzles made of materials that degrade or risk being easily destroyed, bet on wooden sets that can even be passed down from generation to generation. Also keep in mind that children at a younger age regularly damage delicate traditional puzzles, while with wooden puzzles the risk of such an occurrence decreases significantly.
-
The precision and care of the individual pieces of the set is another argument in favor. The accuracy of the cut of the individual parts in the case of wooden puzzles is superior in this regard to elements produced from cardboard. Remember that this weighty parameter has a decisive impact on the fit of all the elements that make up the picture, and the perfect fit of the parts, in turn, affects the feeling of satisfaction from the puzzle. Wooden puzzles that leave the Trefl factory definitely meet the exacting quality parameters. Trust us that you won't have any trouble to perfectly fit all the parts of the puzzle - you'll get a perfect picture that begs to be framed!
