I've been asked if I can do jigsaws, which I know there are plenty of out there, but, for young children.
Ideally would be looking for 4/8/12 piece ones that have big pieces.
Can anyone help?
thanks

Xpres have nice jigsaws for kids and set in a frame.

Thanks Andrew
Think they might be too footery for small fingers though

We do a 15 piece A5, and 30 piece A4 as stock items, and we can get other cuts to special order - though normally a minimum of 100.

The Xpres is a 20 piece on A4 and we sell them for kids designs. All depends on how old the market really.

Andrew, it's for pre-schoolers and pre-nursery age, so quite young, hene wanting bigger pieces, but smaller amounts
I've let them know and they are having a think about it.

Like Graeme, we keep in stock the 15 piece A5 version as well as the 30, 60 and 96 piece A4 versions - these are wooden. Plus have a 60 piece cardboard version in A4 and also have on the shelf a 100 piece A4 version in cardboard.

I thought about doing jigsaws for young children but was a little nervous whether the finished article would pass a health and safety test. I think baby/young childrens toys have to have a kitemark or pass an EN71 test. I don't know much about sub ink, or the coatings used, but none of these have kitemarks or test certs of any kind on the packaging
