If you were going to imagine what the contents of Simon Cowell’s shopping basket looked like, you probably wouldn’t expect it to be like this. </div>

The X Factor judge, 59, stopped off at a toy shop in the Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their son Eric this week… and the family stocked up on jigsaw puzzles. Simon was spotted piling two jigsaw puzzles – Coco and Toy Story by Ravensburger, FYI – and a Dragon Hawk glider into his basket as the family looked around the store. We never imagined a night at Casa Cowell would involve doing puzzles, but apparently they’re big fans judging by his basket.</div>

Wrestling the kids and yourself away from screens, devices even the television can seem an impossible task, but is vital to mental and physical health.</div>
<div>
Jigsaws improve your memory, relieve stress, help you live longer and better by avoiding alzheimer's and memory loss. They are family fun or fun alone when you need some quiet time. </div>
<div>
Jigsaws are good for your mind, body and spirit, so join the retro-revolution, unplug, put your phone on silent and get lost in a jigsaw!</div>

Whether it be piglets with the eyes of frogs, cows blended with construction vehicles or toy bears mixed with beer cans, no combination is off-limits for the creative eye of jigsaw fanatic Tim Klein. He said: "For any pair of 500-piece puzzles with the same cut pattern, there are literally trillions of possible ways to intermingle their pieces, so the possibilities are endless."</span><br />

Jigsaw Puzzles are great for multiple people to play because no one can lose! The objective is for everyone to search for the proper puzzle pieces and put them together to form the main image of the puzzle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
To make it challenging for everyone in the family, find a puzzle which has 500 or even 1000 pieces in it. There are also 3D puzzles, which when put together form a 3-dimensional object. There are also shaped puzzles, lenticular puzzles and augmented reality puzzles. The choice is endless!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; word-wrap: break-word;">
If there are kids in the family, they will have great excitement as they watch the image come to life. Check out our website <a href="http://www.pathwaypuzzles.co.nz/">here.</a></div>

If you're the kind of person who's working on a puzzle at all times (not just on rainy days when you're stuck at home), the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York is looking to hire a full time "Puzzle Cataloger" for six months. </div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.65; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px;">
The museum has a collection of 7,500 puzzles from as late as the 1700s — and some of them have missing pieces. The person who gets hired wouldn't complete every puzzle, but rather would do as much of the puzzle as possible to identify the historic image in order to catalog it properly.</div>

<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Jason Tanner and his wife Allison, from Ottawa Canada, have just launched Bone Owl Puzzles aiming to make jigsaw puzzles from artists work. They are starting initially with</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> five unique designs.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tanner said he and his wife have always enjoyed puzzles and noticed an upsurge in interest recently.</div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">“There are very few jigsaw puzzle companies out there that actually take an art-first kind of approach,” he said.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said the standard in the industry is to use stock images and pay artists only a small percentage for their work and they wanted to do something different.</div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Most jigsaw puzzle companies use repurposed art from big multimedia companies,” he said. “We’re paying artists upfront for their time and effort.”<br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tanner is getting the business off the ground with a $10,000 drive on Kickstarter. He said this will give them the funding they needed to do an additional run with five artists.<br />
<br />
“Kickstarter is an excellent place to launch creative projects. It introduces it to a lot of people who may not have heard about it.”</div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;">He said they have to do a large run off the bat, which is also what makes the Kickstarter campaign important.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">The artists for the puzzles were given only a modicum of direction, because they wanted unconventional designs on the puzzles.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We provided the requirements for what makes a good jigsaw puzzle and they basically ran with it,” he said, adding you need lots of detail in a puzzle and no big open spaces.</div>
</div>
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; clear: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He said all of the artists they approached jumped right on board the project, because this is something they wanted to do and in many cases didn’t know how. </div>
<div class="__default" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-top: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We wish Jason and his wife well in their new venture.</div>

It is one of the largest jigsaw puzzles in the world, and is manufactured by Educa. But if you think it's hard enough to do on its own, imagine turning it into a stop motion movie of classic video games while you assemble it.</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span><br />

There is nothing more infuriating than to finish a puzzle and find a piece or pieces missing. We are often asked, what can we do with incomplete puzzles? If you cant bear to throw them away, then re-purpose the pieces making all sorts of crafty things. In this video you are shown how to make a number of different items from snow flake Christmas ornaments to greeting cards. So, come on crafters - get puzzle crafty!<br />
