Photo Collage Jigsaw Puzzles - Family Fun and a Great Keepsake

I love a good puzzle!  Creative, interesting and fun, putting together a puzzle is one of my favorite family activities.  I should say mom-son, because my husband falls asleep before finding his first piece and my sons get as excited as I do about the project. It's a way to use your brain and to relax at the same time. You can do other things simultaneously and leave the puzzle at any time and come back to it when you have time.

For many years, I have bought jigsaw puzzles from Wal-Mart and other department stores.  I like the scenery ones, the old-fashioned one, and the ones that look like 3D. All the store bought puzzles after a while however seem the same. That's when I discovered that you can have a photo puzzle made from a picture of my friends and family.

These Photo Puzzles are great! They bring together the fun of puzzle making while enjoying your favorite photo of the family, last vacation, or your favorite day such as your wedding. These are the puzzles you want to complete over and over again, glue together, frame and show off!

The best thing is that you're not limited to a single photo. I can take all my favorite digital photos and make a photo collage for a jigsaw puzzle, or I can have a professional do it for me. It makes a wonderful keepsake or gift for just about anyone. All four of my boys had the same fourth grade teacher, a wonderfully efficient teacher and a very nice woman to boot! What a wonderful gift I thought, to give her a picture collage of all four of my sons made into a jigsaw puzzle for her students to put together in the classroom during free time.

Family Reunions are also a great time to celebrate with a photo collage puzzle. These days we see a lot of reuniting going on between family and long lost friends. The vast span of the internet is bringing people together from around the world to as close as a finger-click away. The internet is the perfect tool to collect old photos from friends and family and put these together into a wonderful photo collage.

A photo collage jigsaw puzzle makes a unique gift for grandparents, old friends or anyone else you haven't seen in a long time. It's a great way to relax, have fun and remember the good times. These are only a few examples of the different ways you can use a photo collage jigsaw puzzle.
