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".

It is now campaigning for £30,000 of financial backing for maps of Africa puzzles and has so far received more £4,000 in donations.
