Very Puzzled was started in Dartford by Patrick Adom and is now getting youngsters to engage an interact about different cultures across the world.

The company says their products "assist young minds in their motor and cognitive abilities in an era of screen dependence and digital overstimulation".

Each puzzle showcases a variety of historical landmarks and attractions from around the globe - including Egypt, Indian and Cameroon.

The toy manufacturer believes it is important for children to be "exposed to the beauty and strength of diversity" and thinks jigsaws are a catalyst to "understanding people in our global community".
