Various Types Of Wooden Puzzle Game

By Eula Nichols


So many children's toys are likes miniature beeping and talking light shows, and these might overstimulate sensitive kids. Sometimes old-fashioned playthings are best, and toys created using simple wood are ideal, and less likely to contain toxic colors or synthetic substances. There are many varieties of wooden puzzle game. Descriptions of some of the most common follow.

A timeless puzzle, which involves fitting jigsaw pieces together so that they recreate a specific image, can easily take up hours of time. Puzzles for young kids are not as involved. A design might feature a wooden slab out of which shapes have been cut. To solve the challenge, the right shape must simply be slotted into the right groove in the slab. This is good to give to a toddler, as it assists in improving hand-eye coordination and keeps the brain active.

Although a standard puzzle is 2D, creative toy manufacturers also produce sculptural 3D designs that are not only fun but beautiful to look at as well. A toy shaped to resemble an animal might be pieced together to create a whole-looking object. Since these toys are more complicated, they are best given to older boys and girls.

Natural wood is a good choice of material for toys as it lasts well and is also less damaging to the environment than the production of plastic. Many parents who are environmentally conscious prefer wooden toys for this reason.

Though simple puzzles are ideal for younger children, older kids get to play with more exciting toys. Games featuring towers of blocks, where a block has to be removed slowly without the entire tower crashing down, are good at developing patience and strategic thinking. These toys are also more sociable as they can be played by a whole group of friends or a family.

Wooden puzzles often recreate the much-loved classics that have been entertaining young people for generations. 'Jacob's ladder' is one such classic, an optical illusion that provides endless puzzlement. This toy features a row of blocks that are hinged through connecting ribbons. When the top block in the row is swung down so that it's face touches the following block, it appears to the eye that this block tumbles down, due to the way the ribbons are attached.

Another classic game sometimes made of wood that requires mental agility is The Tower of Hanoi. The person solving the puzzle has to move 8 discs stacked on a wooden pole in the order of largest to smallest across two other poles, by moving one disc at a time. Discs may be stacked on one another only if the bottom one is larger, and the aim is to recreate the first tower on the furthest pole (there are three poles).

The above toys are only some of the many types to choose between when you want a wooden puzzle game that will provide mental stimulation while developing important skills and capabilities. When you order a toy online, make sure that you choose one that is suitable for your child's age group.
