Brambly Hedge Picnic Preparations by Jill Barklem - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle + Poster (Cobble Hill)

Every shelf in this kitchen is doing double duty as a puzzle challenge. Teapots, jam jars, storybooks and a whole dresser of mismatched china are stacked from floor to ceiling, while the mice below get on with buttering bread and packing a hamper for their picnic. There's a cake half-iced on the table, a kettle on the stove, and a rabbit peering in through the doorway to see what's going on.

Jill Barklem's illustration is full of the small, fussy detail that makes Brambly Hedge so well loved — carved wooden beams, patterned curtains, rows of tiny jars all slightly different from one another. It's a good one for anyone who enjoys sorting by pattern rather than colour, since so much of the picture is that soft, buttery cottage palette throughout.

The set comes with a poster of the full image, handy for checking where a piece belongs when the shelves start to blur together.
