Ravensburger Fold Away Board

The evenings are drawing in and the mornings starting to get colder so now is the perfect time to hunt out your old jigsaws and gather up some new ones. I need to sweep off the dining table to lay mine out on. Does anyone else have those problems? Somewhere you can put the puzzle and sort it all out? Well now Ravensburger – home of the soft click jigsaw puzzles – has created a foldaway board perfect for laying your puzzle out on. Made of very stiff board it’s also foldaway for when it’s not in use! It’s on sale for £9.99 and makes the perfect accompaniment to any jigsaw 1000 pieces or smaller.

Easy as 1...2....3

 The board is simple to use. Simple take out of box, unfold and slip on the four securing brackets. It allows you to build and work on your jigsaw while you sit on the sofa. Its superb to just pick up and place aside when you need to run round after the kids or answer the door. It light weight and easy to move so suits all generations.

With handy clip sides to stop the board folding, the board also has measurements around the edge for both 1000 pieces and 500 so you can start building the edges in the correct place as you go. Ravensburger sent it to me to review alongside their gorgeous Sedum cottage puzzle, number 10 in their country cottage collection.

and....click!

 As with all of Ravensburger jigsaws I fell in love as soon as I opened the box. The beautiful design is copied on to sturdy thick pieces. The fabulous crisps ‘soft click’ fit was a great help with this puzzle as there were a couple of pieces I kept thinking were in the right spot and needless to say weren’t!

Included in the box with the puzzle you have a lovely image of the jigsaw you are building and information about the design. Also included is their lovely bright catalogue full of some of their other original puzzles!

And this is why we need a board to move it all away.....

One thing I love about Ravensburger is all their 1000 piece jigsaws come in the same size box with a picture on each side which makes a superb difference in the shelving and storing of them. I know this is only a little thing but they do add up especially with Ravensburger and you’re well aware of the quality of the product.
