Hi! I’m Lynn, and I believe that we’re never too old to be kids. I also believe that kids discover who they truly are through imaginative play. But children’s imagination must be sparked and nurtured through the images and stories they are surrounded by.

And that’s where I come in. I like to create adorable art and decor that will delight and inspire kids at any age.

Introducing 3 new Puzzles to the Chub & Bug Collection

We’ll, it’s finally September and you know what that means for all of us Christmas lovers, right? It’s officially Christmas Season again! Woohoo! Yeah I know, I know it’s still 4 months away, but if you’re a mom you know you can never start shopping too early for the big day. The earlier you start shopping for Christmas gifts the better deals you find and you also ensure your gifts will be in stock and shipped to you in plenty of time so your kids won’t miss out this holiday season. Some experts suggest you should even develop a plan to get it all done early. With this in mind, we’re excited to announce our three new puzzle gifts for the Christmas season!

That’s right--we’ve got three new puzzles to delight your little ones: Prima, Busy Bee, & Lovebirds. All three of these puzzles are super adorable but each has little something to make it extra special. Read on to learn about why these three puzzle gifts might just be the perfect gift for your kids this coming Christmas. 

Benefits of Personalized Puzzle Gifts for Kids

Before we introduce our latest members of our puzzle collection, we should enumerate why puzzles are such awesome gifts for kids. They not only provide hours and hours of entertainment for kids, they also provide numerous physical and mental benefits for kids. 

Puzzle are not only known to improve brain development in children when started at very young ages but also:

  • Memory

  • Shape recognition

  • Problem solving 

  • Fine motor skills and

  • Hand-eye coordination 

Personalized puzzles also stimulate your child's imagination, allowing them to imagine themselves as characters they aspire to be. 

And did we mention they are “battery-free” toys, which means your child gets hours of unconnected play, reducing “screen time” and its negative effects. 

So what’s not not to love about puzzles for children. It’s a win-win situation for all!

Personalized Ballet Puzzle

Personalized Ballet Puzzle

This year we’ve decided to add on to our growing collection of ballet and ballerina-inspired  by creating our most exciting ballet-themed puzzles yet. This puzzle features a Prima Ballerina literally “dancing in the rain.” This gorgeous bright red backpack features a powerful story of a ballerina caught in a sudden rainstorm who then leverages her ballet skills to avoid a large puddle in a cobblestone street. 

Instead of just stepping over the puddle like normal “boring” people do, the Prima ballerina chooses to leap over it by executing the most difficult movement in ballet “Le Grand Jete.” Unbeknownst to her, the powerful act of dancing in the rain also provides cover to a tiny, but adorable mouse who is also caught in the rain! These two characters are thus performing one of ballet’s most famous dances, a Pas De Deux, or “dance for two.” 

When we designed this story, we wanted to create an image of a fearless but immensely talented dancer who could inspire other kids as they navigate not only their own urban cityspaces but their own lives ;) 

We think Prima is obviously just . . . Primo, don’t you?

Busy Bee Puzzle Says “Hi!” 

Busy Bee Personalized Puzzle

Busy Bee Personalized Puzzle

Not everyone is a ballerina or loves to dance. Some kids are enthralled with nature and more and more kids are realizing the dangers of climate change on our planet and the animals and insects that inhabit it. Busy Bee Puzzle was designed with those kids in mind. The kids who want to make a difference in the world and who love all of nature's creatures. As we all know, some species of bees have been placed on the endangered species list and their extinction would not only harm ecosystems but lead to a global famine.

We designed the story for Busy Bee around a charming, chubby, and bumbling bumble bee family “busy” working around their honeycomb home! Bumble bees are extremely friendly and gentle. They are the perfect mascot for your little one who cares about the environment and wants to protect endangered species and save the planet. 

By purchasing this puzzle, you’re not only helping your child connect with nature and the chubby bumbling bees, you’re helping them learn about how they can start to take better care of the planet and all of its inhabitants.

Cozy Up to Our Lovebirds Puzzle 

Lovebirds Personalized Puzzle

Lovebirds Personalized Puzzle

And that brings us to our Lovebird Puzzle. Although last, it’s certainly not the least. In fact, I think it would be difficult for any warm-blooded human being not to fall in love with this puzzle. Sometimes we save the best for last. 

We designed Lovebirds to really capture the need all children and people have for human connection. The story of this puzzle revolves around two charming speckled lovebirds sitting in a tree overlooking a nest of speckled baby bird eggs. If you look very closely you can see the head of one baby lovebird peek out of a cracked shell just as it’s beginning to hatch. The shell then becomes a speckled hat!

This charming image appeals to kids who not only love birds, but also cute baby animals! More importantly, it appeals to their desire for enduring love and friendship. We are convinced this puzzle is bound to make your little one feel warm and fuzzy.
