Magical fairies are cherished by adults and children alike. We have found a selection of the most enchanting fairy jigsaw puzzles, ready for you to piece the magic together.
Fairies
The origins of Fairy folklore date all the way back to the 12th century from writings by Gervase of Tilbury, an English scholar and canon lawyer. Interest in fairies greatly increased during the Victorian era. Fairies have often been used in art and were painted by famous artists such as Joseph Noel Paton, Edwin Landseer and they even influenced the Pre-Raphelite Brotherhood. They also have a part to play in literature, and not just fairy tales, from William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to James. M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan”.
It is hardly surprising that we still appreciate these beautiful magical beings when we have grown up. Fairies have an important role to play in our childhood, from the tooth fairy who visits in the night whilst we sleep and exchanges a treat for one of our fallen milk teeth, to the fairy who sits on top of the Christmas tree.

Very cute puzzle for younger children with an added fun factor. The puzzle has 15 magic patch pieces, rub these pieces to discover what is hidden underneath.

I love puzzles! Thanks for sharing all these great options!
Thank you, enjoy your puzzles!
I love fairy folklore and find these puzzles beautiful to look at. Such stunning works of art with so much intricate detail. I remember doing jigsaws as a child and was always fascinated how these little pieces can create beautiful images. The 3d puzzle looks fun and I’m sure any age would enjoy completing it. Thanks for sharing:)
Thanks Kathy I am happy to hear you liked the designs. Indeed these puzzles are beautiful, it is so satisfying to piece together and complete a puzzle with such delightful enchanting artwork. Happy puzzling!
I grew up with puzzles as a form of relaxation and comfort, and these are beautiful! My dreamer heart loves fairyland, and I used to read all of the “Fairy Books” from my library. They used to have colors, the “blue fairy book”, “crimson fairy book”, etc. I wonder if they’re still around. I really love the older fairy style of artwork rather than the newer Disney ones, but they’re all super great ideas for puzzles. I wonder if anyone ever thought of releasing the puzzles with a fae audiobook to listen to while you put it together that corresponds to the picture? Have a beautiful day 😀
Thanks Hillary, I too grew up dreaming of fairyland and it still holds a special place with me. I have not come across and fairy jigsaw puzzles with a fae audio book, but I will certainly keep an eye out in case there are!
