Don't you love the feeling of placing the very last puzzle piece down? What a great sense of accomplishment. You just spent all week down in the basement working on a 5,000 piece puzzle and it's finally completed. You can now resume daily functions and maybe even let your kids help you next time. Now it's time to tackle Ravensburger's epic 18,000 piece Skylines of the World puzzle . . . you will never see the light of day again.
Puzzles
Ravensburger primarily makes puzzles, for both children and adults. Young children can enjoy puzzles as small as 35 pieces like Thomas the Tank Engine or Fantasy Friends (full of magical unicorns in an enchanted forest!). Children's puzzles come in 100, 200, and 300 pieces. Most are images of animals and colorful scenery. Very young kids can enjoy block puzzles which only have 12 pieces and are simple to assemble. They can also try giant floor puzzles of oceans and dinosaurs.
Don't worry adults, you haven't been forgotten. Ravensburger makes plenty of challenging puzzles like the Bombardment of Algiers or St. Peter's Cathedral. These might take longer than one rainy afternoon. The adult puzzles range from 300 to a whopping 18,000 piece puzzle. These are not for the faint of heart. Ravensburger has a really cool type of puzzle known as Wasgij (jigsaw backwards; don't worry, I didn't realize it either), where the picture on the front is just a clue as to what the actual puzzle looks like. Another fun type of puzzle is the puzzleball, which is fun for any age. Try the Map of the Earth or the Twilight: New Moon puzzleball.
Creative Kits and Games
If your kids aren't into puzzles, they can find other creative outlets and fun games to choose from. Let your daughter take charge of your next jewelry party with the Bead Magic Weaving Loom. Let the kids play with fun, original games like Cat and Mouse and Colorama. Let the entire family in on some of that fun with Make 'N' Break where you have to race against the clock to build the picture on the card you're given. They even make fun vehicles for your toddlers to play with. Keep bath time fun with Motor Boat Murray and other fun water toys. No matter what your age, Ravensburger can keep you entertained on those cloudy days.
