Every Holiday Season, we regale the kids with stories of Santa and his sleigh, his magical reindeer, his eleven helpers (immortalized in the movie Elf), and his home at the North Pole, but where do these stories come from?

Santa's move to the North Pole is mainly attributed to Thomas Nast, the famous American cartoonist.

Nast is also primarily responsible for the current round and jolly physical appearance of Santa that we have grown to love. He depicted him that way in one of his most famous magazine covers.

Elves, as we think of them today, were shaped mainly by Scandinavian writers of the 1800s. Commonly referred to as "House Gnomes" (think Dobby in Harry Potter), they already had a reputation for singling out naughty or nice people and would treat them accordingly.

The perfect gift for Christmas wooden jigsaw puzzlers, and Christmas and Santa Fans, this traditional Christmas wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our Christmas wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many shaped whimsy Christmas wooden puzzle pieces that match the subject, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the Christmas wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

What Makes Irregular Edge Puzzles Different?

+
-
Unlike standard puzzles with predictable straight borders, irregular edge puzzles feature asymmetrical or creatively shaped outer edges. Instead of forming a neat rectangle, the completed puzzle may have wavy, zig-zag, or organically flowing borders. This unconventional silhouette enhances both the challenge and the artistry of the final piece, as it disrupts the usual corner and edge logic puzzlers rely on.

Irregular Edge vs. Whimsy Pieces - What’s the Difference?

+
-
It’s important to distinguish irregular edge puzzles from puzzles that include whimsy pieces. Irregular edge puzzles are defined by their non-traditional border shapes. The entire outer edge of the puzzle deviates from the norm. In contrast, whimsy pieces refer to specially shaped individual pieces within the body of the puzzle (such as birds, stars, or trees). While both features offer a creative twist, the puzzles in this collection are celebrated for their irregular outer edges, as well as their whimsy pieces.

Who Are Irregular Edge Puzzles Best Suited For?

+
-
Irregular edge puzzles appeal to those who enjoy a more dynamic and visually intriguing challenge. They’re ideal if you:
  • Love puzzles that go beyond the standard jigsaw format.
  • Seek a visually stunning piece to display once completed.
  • Want a puzzle that challenges your spatial reasoning and attention to detail.
  • Appreciate handcrafted, eco-friendly wooden puzzles with a touch of artistic flair.

Are Irregular Edge Puzzles Good for Gifting or Collecting?

+
-
