In The Jungle Book, between all the lessons and laws and narrow escapes, he wrote simply of Mowgli: "When he was not learning he sat out in the sun and slept, and ate and went to sleep again." While we design puzzles as gifts for everyone, sometimes it's useful to sharpen our focus on a particular gift giving occasion. So in light of Father's Day, we reflected back on the loving influence of the many Dads in our lives, and on the kind of fathers we want to celebrate with The Bear Necessities. Not necessarily those who are mid-project, mid-fix, mid-solution — but the ones in the chair, drink in hand, with the afternoon light streaming through the trees. The ones who have done what needs to be done, taught everything they know. For this one golden hour, they can simply be. This puzzle is designed exactly for that type moment and we trust it will deliver on creating a meaningful memory with a dad in your life. Discover more by reading our Deep Dive Blog.
