500-Piece Snowman Jigsaw Puzzle by William Vanderdasson – Bits and Pieces, 18" x 24"

This 500-piece jigsaw puzzle from Bits and Pieces features a snowman scene painted by artist William Vanderdasson. The completed puzzle measures 18 by 24 inches, making it a manageable weekend project for adults and families alike. The pieces are cut from recycled cardboard with a thick chipboard backing, and each piece is a unique random die-cut shape for a snug, lock-tight fit.

What makes this puzzle different from a standard 500-piece puzzle?

Unlike many puzzles that use repeating die patterns, Bits and Pieces uses random die-cut shapes so no two pieces are alike. This means you cannot rely on piece shape alone to find matches—you have to focus on the image. The result is a more engaging challenge that keeps your brain active from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Are the pieces made from recycled materials?

Yes. Bits and Pieces uses recycled cardboard for the puzzle pieces and adds a thick chipboard backing for durability.

Will the pieces stay together once assembled?

The puzzle is designed with a lock-tight fit, so pieces hold together well when moved on a flat surface. You can slide sections or lift carefully with a puzzle mat.

Can this puzzle be framed after completion?

The 18-by-24-inch size fits standard poster frames. You can apply puzzle glue (not included) to preserve the finished image before framing.

Is the artwork unique to Bits and Pieces?

Yes. William Vanderdasson created this snowman scene specifically for Bits and Pieces. The company works with many artists to offer designs you won't find elsewhere.

How the random die-cut pieces affect the solving experience

With random die-cut shapes, you cannot sort pieces by shape type (like edge pieces versus interior). Every piece has a distinct outline, so you must rely on color and pattern matching. This makes the puzzle slightly harder than one with traditional grid-aligned cuts, but also more rewarding to finish. The 500-piece count keeps the difficulty moderate—you get a challenge without needing a large table for weeks.
