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 classic puzzle, in which a person has to fit pieces together to complete a complex picture, might take hours to complete. Puzzles for children are a little less complicated, and might consist of a plain board with shapes cut out. Completing the puzzle is a matter of working out which shape fits in which impression in the wood. This simple kind of toy is ideal for toddlers, as it helps in developing hand-eye coordination while providing mental stimulation.

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.

Plain wood is a sensible choice of material for a toy, since the toy will last and wood damages the environment less than the emissions released during plastic's production. Parents who are concerned for the ongoing health of the environment.

While the simplest puzzles are suited to young children and toddlers who are not yet able to solve more complex tasks, older kids are able to enjoy more advanced toys. A game in which pieces have to be removed one by one from a tower of blocks, and stacked on top without the structure crashing down, provides an adrenalin rush. Games like this are good for improving patience as well as strategic focus. The suitability of these toys for group play is an added plus.

Some wooden puzzles borrow the format of classic games that have long provided entertainment for young people. The famous toy, 'Jacob's ladder', is one classic. This consists of a chain of blocks that are connected together by pieces of ribbon in such a way that turning one block over appears to make the next block in line tumble down the chain to the bottom of the row. The puzzling aspect of this is that the movement of the block is an optical illusion, created through the way the blocks are connected.

Another favorite that is often made of wood is The Tower of Hanoi. The person who attempts to solve the puzzle needs to move eight discs (which are stacked on a pole in the order of largest to smallest, ascending) to a pole two spaces away. The same tower must be reproduced, with the same sequence of disc sizes. There are two catches - discs may only be moved one at a time and small discs may be stacked atop of larger discs, but not the other way round.

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.
