3D Puzzles
Three-dimensional puzzles: buildings, globes, vehicles, animals and puzzle balls in foam, card and plastic.
A puzzle you can put on a shelf
A 3D puzzle ends as an object rather than a picture, so the result stays on display instead of going back in the box. Building upwards demands a different kind of spatial thinking than a flat jigsaw. Children who find ordinary puzzles dull often take to these immediately.
Choosing one
Foam-backed puzzles of fifty to a hundred pieces suit ages seven and up and forgive a little rough handling. Landmark buildings and globes are the classics and usually come with numbered pieces. Check whether glue is needed, since the ones that click together can be taken apart and built again.
