Unique Whimsy Shapes

Here at Wentworth Wooden Puzzles our expert jigsaw designers incorporate whimsy pieces into most of our wood puzzles. Our ‘whimsies’ are hand-crafted puzzle pieces, themed to match the puzzle image. So, if you're completing a nature scene you could find whimsies that resemble birds, flowers, animals and more.

Whimsy pieces are an historical link to the Victorian puzzle-making past. As the name suggests, the original Victorian puzzle cutters added the individual pieces on a whim and so the term ‘whimsy’ was born. Whimsy jigsaw puzzles provide a delightful twist and an engaging puzzle experience that makes our irresistible wooden puzzles equally as enjoyable as they are challenging. 

We also have larger whimsy pieces that are featured in our 50 large, 100 large and 250 large puzzles. Most wooden puzzles for adults in our collection include whimsies, excluding our range of repetititve piece Extra Difficult puzzles. Our talented team of designers have even worked whimsy pieces into our fiendish Free Form and Vine cut pieces for the ultimate puzzling combination.  

Our designers try their best to match the most appropriate whimsy pieces to the subject of the puzzle illustration or photograph. We have thousands of individually designed puzzle cut patterns and we are creating more every day so we can continue to bring you the best in puzzling with our ever expanding range of unique jigsaw puzzles for adults.
