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

The image features four dinosaurs from the Jolly Dinos including Steggie, Terry, Trex and Tricia shown within brightly coloured background scenes.

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 ❤️

    We have some Ravensburger puzzles, the On The Move floor puzzle is a favourite. My little one has just moved on from wooden fit-the-shape baby puzzles so we are looking to get more, and Ravensburger is a name we trust. I know he would love these, especially the farm animals one.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.
