Ravensburger My First Puzzles Review

amomentwithfranca · 8 September 2016 · 37 Comments

My little Sienna received a couple of cute puzzles to review from the Ravensburger ‘My First Puzzles’ range. We were very excited about it as they were our first puzzles from Ravensburger to review and as a lot of you know they are a very well known brand famous for their fantastic jigsaws for all ages. The have recently launched the My First Puzzles range of jigsaw puzzles which is specifically designed for little ones from age 18 months and upwards. We received My First Puzzles – On the Farm and My First Puzzles – Jolly Dinos.

Ravensburger My First Puzzles Review

Each of these puzzles have been designed to ensure children get plenty of visual clues to help them assemble the pieces, helping to build their confidence and encouraging them to move onto other titles and larger piece counts. They start with the 2 piece puzzle, then move onto the 3rd piece puzzle, then 4 piece puzzle and finally 5 piece puzzles once your little ones have started to understand the concept of piecing together the different scenes.

As soon as we got the boxes Sienna was ready to play with them. She actually was playing with both boxes before we opened the first puzzle.

Once we opened the first box, we started with the first puzzle that only had 1 piece to see how Sienna reacted. Bella was also around to help her sister to ensure she was doing it all correctly. They were actually both very keen to play.

My First Puzzles – On the Farm

These puzzles feature images of Oink (a pink pig), Moo (a black and white cow), Cluck (a brown chicken) and Baa (a white fluffy sheep), shown within brightly coloured farm backgrounds.

Sienna actually picked this puzzle to do first. I think this is because the animals caught her attention as she recognised all of them, so we started making the sound of each of them. It was fun.

She managed to do the first two that had less pieces and her sister did the other 2 that have more than 3 pieces. Sienna was observing what her sister was doing. It was good for her to have someone to learn from.

The 4 puzzles had really cute illustrations and they were made in super think white line cards which were perfect for little hands.

As soon as we finished she showed me the other box as she was now ready to play with that one now, LOL!

My First Puzzles – Jolly Dinos

This puzzle was also very cute. The dinosaurs were fun and the illustration were big and clear. We did the exact same thing here. We started with the first two that that had less pieces and then the other two Sienna observed her sister doing them.

It was really nice to see both my daughters playing with the puzzles despite the age gap. Bella was enjoying playing the role of the big sister and Sienna enjoyed having her big sister beside her. It was beautiful to see them like that 🙂

Other than that, I thought these puzzles were really good. They kept Sienna entertained for a while. She still needs to practice more in order to do the ones with 5 pieces but as the name says, they are perfect First Puzzles for little ones.  I’m sure she will be better at those in a few months. In the meantime she has her sister to guide her and explain how to do them which I thought was very sweet as Bella didn’t have this advantage when she was little.

These puzzles retail at £4.99 each which is a fantastic price. You can find more about Ravensburger by visiting their website or via Facebook.

What do you think of this new range from Ravensburger? Do you have some Ravensburger puzzles at home? Which one caught your attention more? Would you buy them for your little ones? Please leave a comment below as I would love to hear what you think.

*Disclaimer: I received two Ravensburger puzzles for the purpose of this review but all opinions and thoughts are my own. I was also offered the opportunity to giveaway the same puzzles.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    With 3 generations in this family home we have dozens of jigsaws of all levels of ability, many of which are Ravensburger who are synonymous with quality.

    I would certainly buy these puzzles for the granddaughter as they are sturdy, easy grip pieces with bright, realistic colours.

    We already have lots of Ravensburger puzzles as they are lots of fun and excellent quality! They really withstand little hands without peeling and fading. My girls really love puzzles and I really like the new range. They are bright and colourful and are in designs that really appeal to little ones!

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome

She is the No 1 fan of Matilda. She knows all the songs and dances so she was over the moon to watch it in person. Apparently, she would love one day to be in that stage too! Bless her! 🥰.Even though I have seen it before, each time has brought a different experience for me as they change/rotate the cast often so it feels like a new show watching a new Matilda each time.
