Jigsaw puzzle Ravensburger 12004048 — 49 pieces, Animals, 210 mm width, age 5+

Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle 12004048 contains 49 pieces and shows a colourful animals motif. Designed for children aged 5 and older, the finished puzzle measures 210 mm in width with a 2 mm board thickness. This compact Ravensburger puzzle combines a clear graphic layout with medium-sized pieces to support early problem solving, hand-eye coordination and concentration during a single-session activity at home, kindergarten or in the classroom.

Advantages

The puzzle uses durable, high‑quality board that resists bending and keeps piece edges intact after repeated assembly. Piece shapes are easy for small hands to grip while still offering a satisfying fit, and the colour-accurate printing helps children recognise animals and visual patterns. With 49 pieces the puzzle provides a manageable challenge for the 5+ age group: it is neither too simple nor overly complex, making it suitable for guided play and independent attempts.

Suitable for

• Individual quiet play to build concentration and dexterity

• Early years classrooms and kindergarten activity corners

How to use

Open the box and sort the pieces by edge and colour to simplify assembly. Begin by constructing the border and then group pieces by prominent animal shapes or colour areas. Work on one animal or colour block at a time until all 49 pieces are fitted together to complete the 210 mm wide image. Supervise younger children during assembly and store the puzzle flat when not in use to preserve board shape.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, clean surface with good lighting. For group activities, allow 2–3 children to work together and encourage verbalising piece selection to strengthen language skills. Keep pieces away from very young children and pets. Store in the original box to protect printed artwork and maintain piece condition.
