50s Starlite Diner Puzzle from Bits and Pieces

Although we typically do larger puzzles, with 1000 or more pieces, we are always open to any puzzle if we like the design. This 50s Starlite Diner puzzle from Bits and Pieces caught our eye as we were perusing the puzzle shelves at our local Hobby Lobby. The puzzle captures a 1950s scene outside a neon -lit diner. Cool cars, classic drive-in food and the outfits people are wearing were all we needed. And although it took us very little time to assemble, this is one of our favorite puzzles.

Cool Cars. Cool Pieces.

If you zoom in you’ll see how fun the pieces in the 50s Starlite Diner puzzle from Bits and Pieces are. They are quite whimsical and random. They really add to the enjoyment of this puzzle. Between the piece cuts and the imagery, this is one to enjoy.

As an aside, you’ll almost always find puzzles like this one on sale at Hobby Lobby!

The Last Piece

This 500 piece puzzle did not include a poster. The assembled puzzle is about 18″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is good. The pieces are cut into really interesting sizes and angles, making them rather fun to put together. And it’s almost impossible to put a piece into the wrong place. The colors were great and bright.

Home Sweet Home Baking Bread Puzzle from MasterPieces

This Home Sweet Home Baking Bread puzzle from MasterPieces was one of the first puzzles we made when we started getting into puzzling. This is the kind of puzzle that got us to where we are now: addicted. We tend to make puzzles that remind us of days gone by. Old toys. Old trucks. Or Vintage kitchens. This puzzle has wonderful imagery and color. It’s not the hardest puzzle we’ve done, but it did have its challenges. And rewards.

Smaller But Still Great

We started out our puzzling addiction with smaller puzzles, like this 550 piece Home Sweet Home Baking Bread puzzle from MasterPieces. We thought it was big enough at the time. And challenging enough for sure. Now, we find ourselves doing larger (but not crazy large!) puzzles, often with 1000 to 2000 pieces. But, as long as they have wonderful images like this one, we’ll do any size puzzle. It’s about enjoying the journey, from opening the box to putting in that last piece!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 550 pieces. The final puzzle is about 24″ wide and 18″ high. There is a large colorful poster included. The pieces are large, thick and fit really well. The image is crisp and bright with wonderful detail. If you are looking for a quality puzzle that provides a whole lot of entertainment this is a great choice!

Animal House Movie Poster Puzzle from Spin Master

We’re still kind of new to puzzling so we’re learning as we go as to what puzzles exist. We’re constantly discovering new artists, new companies, new designs (like round or clear puzzles). We were in Bushert’s Antiques in El Paso, Illinois, when I came across this Animal House movie poster puzzle from Spin Master. I thought, “Wow how cool is that!” and grabbed it. We both love the movie Animal House and thought this would be a great flashback to the many characters and scenes in the classic. And it was!

Great Memories. Challenging Puzzle.

There was one part of this Animal House movie poster puzzle from Spin Master that was more challenging than the rest: the white background. The edges really threw me for a loop. Many pieces fit in more than one place. And they fit well, making it very difficult to spot the incorrect pieces. The rest of the white was challenging too, but nothing like the edges. Once we got past that the rest of the puzzle was pretty easy and fun. It was definitely a joy reminiscing about the movie while we put it together.

Turns out you can also buy this movie poster puzzle in a VHS tape-like box. How fun! You can also find other famous movie poster puzzles.

The Last Piece

This 500 piece puzzle did not include a poster. We really wish that it had. The small box made the small details hard to discern. The assembled puzzle is about 18″ wide and 24″ high. The pieces are large and fit fairly well. The image quality on the pieces is good. The colors were great and the pieces are cut well.

For The Love Of Cats Puzzle from RP Studio

My wife’s sister gave us this puzzle. She gave it to us as a gift for taking care of her wonderful kitties while she was out of town. She certainly didn’t have to do that because her kitties are so sweet! We used to have kitties too, four of them, but we have entered a stage of our lives where we just enjoy other peoples’ cats instead. Or we do cat puzzles like this For the Love of Cats puzzle from RP Studio. This was one of best puzzles we’ve made, and certainly one of the most enjoyable.

This puzzle also includes a wonderful booklet with info on cats. It makes (and made!) for a great gift!

The Last Piece

This puzzle contains 500 pieces. The final puzzle is about 20″ wide and 16″ high. The pieces fit well together. The image is amazingly bright and colorful. This puzzle won’t take you long to complete but it is a joy to do. There is a great poster included along with a booklet on cat breeds.

Family Campsite Puzzle from Buffalo Games

This Family Campsite puzzle from Buffalo Games was our first puzzle with hidden images. Honestly, I didn’t even notice it on the box. I just saw that the artist was Aimee Stewart. That’s all I needed to know that it would be a great puzzle. The hidden image thing ended up being a bonus.

Fun Things. Everywhere.

This is not our first Aimee Stewart puzzle that was absolutely full of objects. Everywhere. If you ever went camping back in the 70s or 80s, chances are a lot of the items you packed for the trip can be found in this puzzle. There’s definitely no shortage of things, colorful and fun, in this Family Campsite puzzle from Buffalo Games.

After you’re done, there’s a list of 10 images you’ll need to find inside the puzzle. They’re not too hard to find. And it’s fun to find them.

You could also do like we did and kinda keep an eye out for the hidden images as you put the puzzle together!

The Last Piece

This puzzle includes a poster which is a good thing because there were graphics on the box that hid parts of the puzzle. There are 500 pieces in this puzzle. The assembled puzzle is about 21″ wide and 15″ high. The pieces fit very well and the image quality on the pieces is fantastic. The colors were great and the pieces are cut perfectly. This is a quality puzzle that brings hours of enjoyment.

Country Life Old Western Town Puzzle from Buffalo Games

I was instantly drawn to the picture on the box of this Country Life Old Western Town puzzle from Buffalo Games. “There’s a lot going on in that town”, I thought. And I thought “This isn’t going to be easy.” And it wasn’t, either. There are definitely some challenging spots in this puzzle. There are lots of browns and tans and reds. And the sky isn’t the easiest, either. But in the end, oh was it ever worth the effort!

Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain

One of the most dangerous places for us to walk into is a store that sells puzzles. Self-control? Non-existent as soon as we grab the door handle. Remorse? Never! This time the ‘culprit’ was the Puzzled Fun & Games store located in what is called The Island in Pigeon Forge, TN. You talk about puzzle heaven! This store is a great place to pass away an hour or two, going down aisle after aisle looking at puzzle after puzzle. We immediately proceeded to make a pile of puzzles at the checkout counter. One of the first to go on the stack was this Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain.

White Mountain 100 Piece Jigsaw Puzzles, Includes…

Six individual puzzles: all your childhood name…
Cereal memories: lovely puzzle artwork can evoke…

Fun! And More Fun!

This set consists of 6 boxes, each a different puzzle, 100 pieces each. Yep, they’re packaged just like the single serving cereal boxes of our childhood. The graphics on the pieces were bright and colorful. The pieces fit perfectly. They’re smaller puzzles that aren’t too hard to complete but they were super fun to put together.

Cereal Box Puzzle Set (Boxes) by White Mountain

Flashbacks

The fun part of assembling the Cereal Box Puzzle Set from White Mountain was of course thinking back to our younger days when sugary cereals were more common in our diets! But I do admit, I had some frosted flakes out of a small box at a hotel breakfast just the other day! The only thing missing were the morning cartoons on TV!

The Last Piece

Each ‘cereal box’ puzzle comes in its own resealable baggie. There is no poster included with this puzzle, but honestly you really don’t need one. Each puzzle is about 9″ high and 7″ wide. This is a fun puzzle and would make for a great gift for all ages!
