Mice Will Play | 500-Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

Mice Will Play is a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle with a finished size of 19 × 19 inches. It turns the featured illustration into a tabletop activity for puzzlers aged 10 and up, following the manufacturer’s age recommendation.

Add a touch of whimsy and charm to your puzzle collection with Mice Will Play, a delightful 500 piece jigsaw puzzle featuring the imaginative artwork of Bill Mayer. This playful scene captures a group of mischievous mice splashing and spinning in a bowl of milk—completely unfazed by the stunned black cat watching alongside them. Full of humor, detail, and character, this puzzle is perfect for animal lovers, art enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys a clever twist on classic storytelling. With high-quality craftsmanship and a satisfying level of challenge, Mice Will Play is both entertaining and visually engaging. Bring home the fun with Mice Will Play — a clever and comical puzzle that proves when the cat’s away (or in this case, nearby!), the mice really do have a party!

Use the box illustration as a visual reference and leave room around the finished image for sorting loose pieces. Group recognizable colors, borders, and image details, then connect small sections as the picture takes shape. Work alone or share sections with another suitable puzzler; the image and the puzzler’s experience will influence the pace of assembly.

Materials and construction

The manufacturer describes its puzzles as thick, 100% recycled chipboard printed with soy-based inks and finished with a linen-style surface to reduce glare. The board gives the image a firm paperboard backing for tabletop assembly, while the lightly textured finish helps keep the printed artwork comfortable to view under ordinary room lighting.

Care and storage

Keep the cardboard pieces and box dry. Handle pieces with clean, dry hands, use a clean tabletop, and avoid drinks or food near the work area. Brush away loose dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse or wet-clean the board. Separate pieces carefully after use and return them to the box for storage away from moisture and direct sunlight. These are practical storage suggestions for a paperboard puzzle; follow any care instructions supplied with your item.
