Jan van Haasteren: A Dog’s Life – 500 pieces

The Jan van Haasteren A Dog’s Life jigsaw puzzle The scene is set in a vet’s waiting room where peace and quiet are hard to come by.

What makes this jigsaw puzzle different?

A Jan van Haasteren jigsaw puzzle works differently from a landscape or photo jigsaw puzzle. The illustration is made up of dozens of little stories that unfold simultaneously. Recurring characters, hidden jokes in the background, details you only notice once the jigsaw is almost complete – A Dog’s Life It offers all that. The longer you look, the more you see.

The 500-piece version is perfect for an evening’s puzzling, or can easily be spread over several sessions. Experienced puzzlers can complete this in two to three hours. Beginners can take their time: the rich, colourful illustration provides enough guidance to distinguish the pieces, whilst the wealth of detail keeps it challenging.

This jigsaw puzzle makes a particularly good gift. The illustration makes people laugh even before the first pieces are laid out on the table, and at €13.99, it’s a price you don’t need to think twice about.
