Alphabet Jigsaws, an Irish company based in county Wicklow, designs beautifully handcrafted wooden jigsaw puzzles which are cut from sustainably sourced wood and painted by hand using non-toxic acrylic paints.
This Ireland Icons jigsaw puzzle is a wonderful introduction to the rich natural and cultural heritage of Ireland.
Each individual hand painted piece represents either an Irish landmark, icon or animal and each one can be stood up separately. In this way, pieces can be discussed, researched or simply played with before being re-assembled into a challenging jigsaw puzzle.
A truly educational toy with a wealth of interest that will provide the perfect way for the whole family (or class) to learn about the island of Ireland.
Landmarks pieces include: The Cliffs of Moher, The Giant's Causeway, Hook Head lighthouse, Croagh Patrick, Cashel, Newgrange and Dublin's Pigeon Loft
Irish Icon pieces include: a harp, a shamrock, an Irish tricolour, a fiddle, A hurley and sliotar, a Galway Hooker, The Glensheen Collar, The Titanic, a tractor and some potatoes!
Animals, current and mythic, include: a sheep, cow, dog, swan, puffin, hare, seal and salmon.
Nature pieces include: Mountain ranges, a waterfall, a rainbow, an oak leaf, some seashells and a traditional Irish raincloud!
Our Irish Icons wooden jigsaw puzzle comes beautifully packaged in a recycled cardboard presentation box with a lovely drawstring cotton bag for storage after play.
