Puzzle Features

The "just right" challenge

Puzzle kits are designed for different levels of difficulty. Using the magnetic base makes the puzzle easier by providing sensory feedback when pieces are placed correctly. If the base is not used, the puzzle becomes more challenging, requiring more tactile and spatial skills.

Puzzle kit components

Each puzzle kit contains a template, a magnetic base with a raised frame, and magnetic puzzle pieces.

Interlocking shapes

There are three distinct interlocking shapes:  hooks, circles, and triangles.

Magnetic feedback

Puzzle bases and pieces contain magnets to secure the pieces, and to provide sensory feedback when the piece is placed correctly.

Piece orientation

Each puzzle piece has a circular indentation on its underside to indicate which side is right side up. 

Puzzle orientation

Each straight edge puzzle template and magnetic base has a small rectangular protrusion to denote the top of the puzzle.

Challenge yourself!

Some puzzles are available with more, smaller puzzle pieces. These pieces don't have magnets, but can still be used with the base as a guide. For an added challenge, try assembling them without the base!

Note: these smaller pieces are differentiated from the larger pieces by having triangular indentations on the underside instead of circles.
