Tips for Choosing the Right Puzzle
When selecting a Thanksgiving jigsaw puzzle, consider some of these factors:
- Piece count – A puzzle's piece count can significantly impact the difficulty of a jigsaw puzzle. Choose a smaller puzzle (300 pieces to 500 pieces) for a quick activity or a larger puzzle (1000+ pieces) for a challenge. Many of our jigsaw puzzles come in multiple piece count options, so you can choose your level of difficulty.
- Artwork style – Look for artwork in jigsaw puzzles with realistic scenes, whimsical illustrations, or vintage-inspired art. Artists like John Sloane, Alan Giana, and Susan Winget perfectly capture the feelings of nostalgia and gratitude that come with Thanksgiving.
- FAge range – Different age ranges prefer different jigsaw puzzle styles. Large-piece puzzles are perfect for kids and grandparents, while detailed puzzles are suited for seasoned puzzlers.
- Table space – Make sure your puzzle fits comfortably on the table between meals and gatherings. Opt for using a portable puzzle table so you can move your puzzle as needed without losing your place. Another option is to create your own puzzle nook as a dedicated space to work on jigsaw puzzles.

Adding puzzles to your Thanksgiving celebration can be simple and fun. Here are four ways to include jigsaw puzzles into your traditions:
- Start early – Begin a new puzzle in the days leading up to Thanksgiving so it's ready for family to join in.
- Keep it accessible – Place the puzzle on a side table where guests can stop by and add pieces.
- Pair with dessert – After pie, gather around to puzzle and chat.
- Display finished puzzles – Frame your completed puzzle or use puzzle glue to preserve the memory.
Thanksgiving puzzles aren't just for the holiday—they're keepsakes that remind you of the warmth and joy of time spent together.
