About the brand

Imagination takes center stage with this Toronto-based children’s brand that turns storytelling into a tactile experience. Once Upon a Puzzle creates beautifully illustrated jigsaw puzzles that invite kids and families to slow down, play together, and explore new worlds piece by piece. Each design is hand-drawn by women artists from around the globe and packaged like a storybook, blending art, learning, and wonder in every box. A portion of proceeds supports school meal programs, ensuring every story — and every child — gets a happier ending.
