I recently came back from Safari in Southern Africa with some wonderful photos of the wildlife. I would like to make jigsaw puzzles for my 3 and 5 yo grandsons who are already good with age-appropriate commercial puzzles. Does anyone have recommendations for the best companies that can create puzzles from some of these photos. I would like puzzles with cardboard backing that can stand up to the rigors of young hands. I have found many companies while doing on-line searching, but if any of you have first hand experience that would be great information.

I’m not sure if they offer them but check Bay Photo.
I looked into making puzzles in the height of Covid. Found puzzle makers in China (where else). Turn around was too long.

Sure thing.
Not a very challenging puzzle at 100 pieces but maybe suits your needs.

Fine Art America makes puzzles. But they may be too difficult for children.

Fine Art America and Pictorem both offer puzzle prints, have not ordered a puzzle from either so YMMV

Portrait Puzzles in LaCrosse, WI or Shutterfly. Both do excellent work. The choice depends on the aspect ratio you want and the overall size of the puzzle you want.

What happened to me having a photo into puzzle.
Jigsaw puzzle pieces are not all different in shapes in ALL puzzles.
Most puzzles are very similar shapes but not identical.
Some puzzles of different designs that have the SAME SHAPED PIECES because they are cut with the same die.
Be careful of this type of puzzle, all pieces cut just alike except for outer edge these are not enjoyable in the option of my sisters who have been puzzling for 70+ years.
