Irises after Van Gogh Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle by Wizardi F07N9-12

Piece together Irises after Van Gogh, a wooden jigsaw puzzle by Wizardi: dense clumps of blue and violet irises fill the picture, with one solitary white iris standing out among the green leaves and a strip of warm earth below, all in the painter's visible brushwork.

A little puzzler's folklore: Van Gogh painted the irises in the hospital garden at Saint-Remy, calling the work his lightning conductor for calm.

Why this puzzle: if you love flower paintings, the single white iris is a satisfying last piece to find.

In the box: laser-cut wooden pieces printed with the picture, a mix of classic interlocking pieces and whimsy pieces cut as little animals and figures such as giraffes, butterflies and dragonflies, packed in a gift box with the full picture on the front for reference. The box rates it 5A Challenger. Not included: a puzzle board or frame.

How to build it: turn every piece picture-side up, pick out the straight edges and the whimsy figures first, then sort the rest by colour and build inwards, using the box picture as your guide; the wood pieces lock firmly, so a finished section can be moved without falling apart.

Finished size 29.8 x 37 cm (11.7 x 14.6 in), a rectangular A3 picture, so it fits a coffee table while you work and a frame afterwards; a lovely gift for puzzle fans, art lovers and anyone who wants a calm, screen-free evening, and it goes back in the box to build again.
