Few stories speak to animal lovers more than Noah’s Ark. The pairs of animals marching two-by-two onto a massive boat surely included many favorites!
It’s a great image for art, too, with the rich colors of nature being both a challenge and an opportunity for the artist. It presents such a wonderful image!
A jigsaw puzzle is a great way to bring the animals, the art, and the story home. With so many of us staying home more than in the past, jigsaw puzzles can be a great way to pass the time and get away from the screen. They can be a solo activity or done with the family. And there are puzzles suitable to all ages.
Here are some great jigsaws based on the Noah’s Ark story that you’ll surely love!
MasterPieces Noah’s Ark Jigsaw Puzzle
This 1000-piece puzzle is based on the artwork of Eric Dowdle.
The finished puzzle measures 39 inches by 13 inches, so you’ll need a nice-sized table to work on. It’s also a bit more difficult than average. Not the hardest to put together, but leaning toward the hard side.
The pieces are average quality, and we’ve heard complaints that they aren’t always cut well, meaning they don’t stick together as they should. However, it’s great art and we love how it looks!
Vermont Christmas Company Noah’s Ark Puzzle.
The colors in this 1000-piece puzzle are really rich, especially the rainbow! We’re really glad we got it, and it will look great once we have it framed.
Once finished, it measures 30 by 24 inches. It’s printed on a good-quality cardboard that makes it easy to work with and durable.
MasterPieces EZGrip Cut-Aways Noah’s Ark Jigsaw Puzzle
Another entry from Masterpieces, this is part of their “Cut-Aways” series. We get to peer inside the Ark through this image! As we always imagined, it’s a bit crowded in there.
Finished, this measures 34 by 23.5 inches.
The art is by Art Poulin.
The EZ Grip puzzle pieces are a little larger than normal, making them easier to pick up.
Buffalo Games Noah and Friends Jigsaw Puzzle
Based on the art of Charles Wysocki, this puzzle has a unique stylized art. The 1000 pieces will present a good challenge as you seek to put together this beautiful work!
The finished piece measures 26.75 by 19.75 inches. The pieces fit well.
Many Noah’s Ark puzzles (and other art) seem to present a mix of the before and after of the story. The animals may be marching on board but the rainbow is already in the sky. However, we really like that this one shows a stormy sky. It stood out to us and makes this one unique!
Dowdle Noah’s Ark Jigsaw
This puzzle is more suited for younger children. It has 100 large pieces and measures 16 by 20 inches when done.
It’s chock full of animals – it’s a great teaching tool to help young children learn their names!
The pieces are great for kids. They’re a heavier paperboard that young fingers won’t struggle with.
Wrapping It Up
Jigsaw puzzles can be great fun – and a fantastic way to pass the time, enjoy art and learn. These Noah’s Ark puzzles retell a wonderful Bible story and highlight so many wonderful animals. They’ll be enjoyable by the entire family!
