I have to admit I’d never heard of Rebel Girls before I was contacted to review two Rebel Girls jigsaws from Gibsons Puzzles. It sounded right up my street and as I have some time with my eldest daughter on a Tuesdays, I thought we could learn together and so some jigsaws!
To be honest I’ve not done a jigsaw in ages. I always think my baby boy will come and trash it (and I am usually right!) I see fellow bloggers doing them and always look on wistfully, so I thought some quality time with my eldest daughter would be lovely. My middle daughter is really starting to enjoy jigsaws too and I know as she gets a little older would love the Rebel Girls jigsaws from Gibsons.

More About The Rebel Girls Jigsaws by Gibsons
Gibsons is a family-owned independent board game company and usually comes up with some innovative ideas. They work with artists from all over the world and use 100% recycled puzzle board.
There are so many Jigsaws to choose from online!
We were sent Rebel Girls jigsaws – 100 piece and 500 piece. Gibsons have teamed up with Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls novels and designed this inspiring puzzle that celebrates queens, activists, scientists, artists and sporting champions throughout history.
Both retail at £10.50. You can find them here on Amazon.
I was really keen to get cracking!
Doing the Jigsaws
We decided to do the 100 piece puzzle as a threesome and my 3 year old did have a good go too! My husband had taken the little man out and we knew we would be safe for a little while!
It didn’t take us too long to do and I loved the bright and colourful design. As there was a good few strong females to piece together, my 3 year old could have a go. She loved doing Queen Elizabeth.
What was also fun was looking up about some of the ladies and learning about why they were famous in history. There was a good few I didn’t know about.
My eldest found the 100 piece fine at 6 years old. I did help her but I know she would have been able to compete alone!
We decided to do the 500 piece as a twosome the next day. This definitely took us longer and in the end it was my husband and I who finished it!
My eldest helped me out but after a good hour, she moved onto something else. She is only 6 and not had lots of jigsaw practice but she was really good at finding pieces for me. I found it quite tough as out of practice too.
My husband and I however, really enjoyed it! We had both forgotten how addictive a good jigsaw can be and may get one again in the future. Christmas would be a good time!
Overall Thoughts
We as a family really enjoyed doing the Rebel Girls Jigsaws from Gibsons. As well, as being something we could all get involved with, we learnt something too.
It was really relaxing sitting together doing the puzzles. My eldest and I had a cuppa, listened to music and chatted about nonsense, so it was really lovely. Screen free, quality time together.
My husband re-discovered his jigsaw love and we have definitely decided to buy one for Christmas this year.
Overall a thumbs up. Brilliant puzzles for the family and a great way to learn about amazing women in history for us all.

nice to see a jigsaw my daughter would love
I’m a bif fan of Gibsons puzzles for myself but for some reason I’ve never looked at their childrens jigsaws. My oldest niece would love this. She’s outgrown the 100 piece puzzles she had and has tried some “grown up” 500 piece ones but found the pictures too boring.
We love Jigsaws! Need a new one to keep us occupied xx
I do love a good jigsaw, at the moment im completing the Cutaway Castle

I am loving the current movement towards toys and books that demonstrate powerful women and women that have changed the world. So good for our children to see.
