JvH Junior #23, Saut en trampoline (150 pcs)

Between two gnarled old trees whose hollow trunks form goofy little faces, a huge yellow and blue trampoline becomes the stage for a totally wild recess. A girl in a yellow sweater flies through the air with her arms wide open, while a spotted black and white dog tumbles right beside her. A funny barnyard bird launches itself too, legs and wings spread wide, while a man in a blue sweater dives headfirst straight through the stretched canvas, as if swallowed whole by the trampoline. Lower down, a little character in red and white stripes tumbles head over heels, two hens scurry around in the grass, and a ghost in a white sheet, wearing red sneakers, calmly strolls away from all the commotion with a mischievous grin. This 150-piece puzzle from JvH Junior drops young puzzlers into a scene packed with characters, visual gags and little details to spot, the same kind of busy, funny energy that made Jan van Haasteren's illustrations famous, here adapted for curious little ones ages 5 and up.

The JvH Junior series introduces kids ages 5 and up to the wacky world of Jan van Haasteren puzzles, with piece counts that grow alongside the young puzzler's skills (150, 240 or 360 pieces). Putting a puzzle together as a family is a great way to build patience, observation skills and fine motor control, all while sharing a good laugh over this high-energy trampoline scene.

This playful artwork is signed by Wilma van den Bosch, a Dutch illustrator who joined Studio Jan van Haasteren in 2022 as the team's fifth artist. She has drawn most of the puzzles in the Junior line ever since, bringing rosy-cheeked characters and scenes just as lively and colorful as the original series.
