Shaped Jigsaw Puzzles

Just in case you are interested in trying different shaped jigsaw puzzles, the website Gallery shares what images are available. They do get lots of attention and some are more challenging than others. They certainly are a lot of fun with the edges being the trickiest of all...so you would not likely start with the border....just sayin

Sunsout Puzzle Company is quite popular for shaped puzzles but they are not alone. There are endless puzzles out there that are shaped and they continue to be in constant demand.

If you have never experienced a shaped puzzle, it will seem quite odd at first as the border will not be easy to determine. Then the majority of the pieces are going to be random shapes to accommodate for the outline of the puzzle. Often the images in a shaped puzzle are images within images to which often are related to the shape of the puzzle. Although that does not always have to be the case. For example

A cow shaped puzzle will have smaller images of cows A dog shaped puzzle will have smaller images of dogs A house shaped puzzle may have images of the different rooms of a house A heart shaped puzzle may be filled with roses which is one that I own

And don

’t forget that a Panoramic puzzle can easily fall into this category due to its unique shape. Most Panoramic puzzles tend to be in an almost ‘banner ’ shape where the image is much wider and not too much height. That said, there are enough of them out there if you look for them but they are not as popular as actual shaped puzzles. Take a look at the website to see some fantastic shaped jigsaw puzzles.
