Jigsaws from Activity Village

Jigsaws from Activity Village

We have added a huge new selection of jigsaws to the website today. First, for Australia Day, we have added three of everyone's favourite Australian animals as well as a boomerang jigsaw. For Chinese New Year we have jigsaws of a Lion Dance and a Dragon Dance, Chinese New Year Decorations, Mandarin Oranges and Chinese Lanterns - all very colourful and great fun to complete. We finally we have added jigsaws for Mardi Gras and even Pancake Day! Valentine's Day Jigsaws are coming soon, too.

All jigsaws come in a selection of sizes so you should find something for every age group. Click on the jigsaw links and either choose Run to play the jigsaw without saving, or Save to save the jigsaw to your hard drive. At only about 250kb, you can build up quite a collection and save to a CD to share with friends, too.
