Family Puzzling & Trivia with Cobble Hill

At Christmas time, our family gets pretty committed to puzzling as we cozy up with some hot chocolate and a few good snacks; making a pretty great afternoon of family fun. We know Cobble Hill makes amazing puzzles so we wanted to share a few with you and also introduce you to the Professor Noggin card game series. These can all be enjoyed year round but there is something about doing puzzles with a Christmas tree up that gets the whole family involved.

Cobble Hill has so many beautiful puzzles to choose from which makes it very easy to gift these to our kids or family and doubles as a perfect Christmas afternoon activity. They also have small and large piece sizes as well as options from 36 pieces all the way up to 2000 and everything in between. These puzzles shown are the “Family Pieces” that include three different piece sizes so puzzlers of all skill levels can collaborate.

You can also find a few games from Cobble Hill as well as many more through their parent company: Outset Media. We love this BibleOpoly - a fun twist on a classic game that includes lots of different cities from the bible as you go around the board and try to “build a church” while getting rewarded for collaborating with others. This could be a great family game over the Christmas break and beyond - excited to try this with our kids!

Finally we want to tell you about Professor Noggin which is a card series that is perfect for trivia nights or to add on to your homeschooling curriculum. We love that there is an easier set of questions (“student”) and a harder set for older kids/adults (“scholar”). Professor Noggin has produced so many different categories of trivia card sets - truly something there for everyone. We are excited to try out the Civil War, American Revolution, and the History/Geography of Canada ones with our older boys. These can be perfect stocking stuffers that make an easy family trivia night or also amazing educational items to have on hand if you are a homeschooling family.

Puzzles and trivia games are great gifts for anyone on your list this Christmas and we love that Cobble Hill has so many great options to choose from!
