FAQs
What age is this puzzle set suitable for?
This puzzle set is suitable for children aged 3 years and over.
What are the dimensions of each completed puzzle?
Each completed puzzle measures 19 x 14cm.
Are these puzzles safe for young children?
Yes, the puzzles are designed with premium quality materials and are fully compliant with all UK and EU safety and testing standards. The pieces are sized for little hands aged 3+.
How many puzzles are included in this set?
The set includes four individual puzzles.
Can I mix pieces from different puzzles in the box?
While technically possible, it is not recommended as each puzzle is designed with a specific number and shape of pieces. Mixing pieces will make assembly impossible for that particular puzzle.
What skills do these puzzles help develop?
Completing the puzzles helps develop problem-solving skills, hand-eye coordination, and confidence through fun, story-led play.
How should I clean the puzzles?
Gently wipe the puzzle pieces with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Puzzle pieces don't fit together well
Ensure you are using pieces from the correct puzzle within the box. Check that no pieces are bent or damaged. Ravensburger puzzles are precision-made, so pieces should fit snugly.
Missing puzzle pieces
Double-check the box and surrounding area. If pieces are genuinely missing after thorough checking, contact Ravensburger customer support for potential assistance.
Print on puzzle pieces is peeling
This may occur with excessive moisture or rough handling. Ensure the puzzles are only wiped with a *slightly* damp cloth and dried immediately. Avoid harsh cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required for the puzzles themselves; simply open the box and remove the pieces for each of the four puzzles. It is recommended to store the pieces for each puzzle separately within the box to avoid confusion.
Compatibility: This product is designed for children aged 3 years and up. It is not compatible with other Ravensburger puzzle series unless dimensions are deliberately matched for a specific play activity (not intended by the manufacturer).
Care: To clean the puzzles, wipe the pieces gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the print and material. Ensure puzzles are completely dry before storing them to prevent any damage or mildew. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
