During this difficult time, many people are turning to jigsaw puzzles to pass the time and this is welcomed news for Peace by Piece Puzzles.
Completing a jigsaw puzzle is a fantastic, fun way to pass the time. It can also have a positive impact on our wellness and mental health.
Peace by Piece Puzzles was inspired by the realization that the simple act of piecing together a jigsaw puzzle can offer therapeutic benefits. It has been discovered that this favourite pastime, brought to light in the 1760s, can simultaneously stimulate the brain, as well as act as a form of meditation, allowing the mind to relax.
With so much uncertainty during COVID-19, it’s essential to find ways to rest our minds. Peace of mind is a vital, fundamental gift that everyone deserves. Our minds need to rest.

I do believe that jigsaw puzzles are therapeutic and relaxing, Natalie. I must try to get my boys to do one each. I, of course, relax by making lots and lots of fondant flowers and people.
Cheers, Robbie! I find it so relaxing, and it’s wonderful to see so many people choosing to do so, too. Your creativity is awesome! I think the key thing is finding some activity that is calming and enjoyable. I know a lot of people are struggling to find that place. I have so many hobbies that I love and are keeping me grounded and inspired. I’m so grateful for that. I hope you and your family are doing well. Hugs across the miles. xo
