With almost five weeks in to worldwide lockdown, it’s very likely that most people are chomping at the bit to find anything new to keep from impending boredom. After going back to basics, it might be a nice time to head away from the digital screens and try your hand at something a bit more physical.
Puzzles can sometimes be an amazing way of combatting anxiety or general boredom, as they require a lot of dedicated time and effort – especially if they’ve got a LOT of pieces.
They can also be a brilliant way of giving you and your quarantine buddies (if you’re lucky enough to live with other people) something you can share and work on together – and even better if you can end up framing or completing the puzzle into a piece of art that you can keep as a momentum to ‘that time you needed to stay at home all day, every day’.
