Go back to the "Old School" way of raising your children ad promoting family play time.  We highly recommend that you gather the kids and look through your giant albums, or in our case BOX of photos and turn them into personalized photo jigsaw puzzles.  Isn't that a neat idea that solves so many problems?
Children are starting to lose the value of family time and a good old fashioned jigsaw puzzle, specifically one that has meaning and is meaningful in their lives such as a photo puzzle, has the ability to bring the family together for hours of good old clean fun.  No need for electric outlets, internet connection or the newest game just take the puzzle box out and watch them go.  It's magical to see everyone migrating toward the puzzles.
Get back to the "Old School" slowly and watch the smiles grow.  Personalized photo puzzles are really a unique way to bring it all together, won't break your budget, and will keep their attention, stimulate conversation and build teamwork without even trying.  It's "Old School" the new way!  Check us out at http://www.themissingpiecepuzzlecompany.com and get yours today..  We offer a variety of sizes, shapes and piece counts for all ability levels and ages.  You won't be disappointed and watch the smiles begin.

Why you should do a jigsaw puzzle today!

Today, technology is everywhere and overload can take it's toll on people.  Kids love to play online games, have handheld gadgets that you couldn't pry out of their hands, and it seems that the simple things in life just don't matter, but they should.

Jigsaw puzzles are not only inexpensive, but they are fun.  Personalized jigsaw puzzles are even more fun to do because you have a subject that you can relate to--YOU.  It's easy to submit a photo, have it made into a puzzle, and get it within days right at your doorstep.
Jigsaw puzzles work well with any age or ability level. There are so many sizes and shapes to choose from it's incredible that people continue to walk past puzzles in shops. Piece counts in our store range from 6 to 1200 and cover many ability levels.  We are one of few companies that can create a personalized puzzle that is over 500 pieces.  Check out our 1200 piece here http://www.themissingpiecepuzzlecompany.com/1200-piece-POSTER-SIZE-Gigantic-puzzle-Try-if-you-dare_p_19.html 

A great idea for a busy Mom on a rainy day or while your are cooking dinner is to place a small jigsaw puzzle out for your children.  Not only will it keep them occupied while your tasks are being completed, but they are fun, creative, enhance logic and manage to work BOTH sides of the brain.  As a long time teacher, this news is a great! In my opinion, seeing a child put down an electronic device to complete a task that encourages learning is a win/win situation.

I've walked into countless libraries where jigsaw puzzles are out on a table and random people are working them.  Almost as if jigsaw puzzles are contageous, people flock toward them.  Jigsaws are wonderful natural conversation starters as puzzles are known to stimulate social interactions and provide for great team work activities.

Jigsaw puzzles can also save on utility bills.  If your lights go out due to that terrible summer or winter storm, no problem.  Bring out a candle and gather the family to pass the time.  Not only are they great for family interaction, they also help older members of the family who may be suffering from Alzheimer's to recognize family members.  This is where Personalized Photo Jigsaw Puzzles shine!  

So the next time your walking in a toy store, don't pass the jigsaw puzzles.  They are worth the buy for many reasons.
