Winning Moves iBall
The iBall looks like a simpler version of the Rubik’s 360 but is still a great 3d puzzle. It has seven metal balls lodged inside the clear plastic sphere. To win iBall shake, rattle and roll all seven metal balls into the proper location. This is a great childrens learning toy to help them with their concentration and focus.
Family Games Owl
The aim of this brain teaser puzzle is to release the puzzle ring, which is attached to a strong woven cord and fed through a slot with a ball, which is then attached to the block’s. Once you solve this one once it will be easy to do it again.
Money Maze – Money Puzzle
This puzzle game is a great combination of a challenging 3d puzzle and an intruiguing bank. It’s easy to make a deposit… but a pain to withdraw money! To access your cash, you must solve the puzzle by maneuvering the steel ball through the maze.
Ball of Whacks
This creative thinking puzzle consists of 30 magnetic design blocks that can be rearranged into many, many shapes — including the beautiful 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. This is a perfect brain game for creative training tool for improving creativity and innovation. Essential for innovators, artists, engineers, and writers.
Rubik’s Twist
The Rubik’s Twist gives you a twistable challenge with unlimited puzzle shapes. Like the Ball of Whacks, its a creative thinking puzzle. You can create many amazing figures and forms, like turning a snake into a swan… a bat into a ball… or a turtle into a terrier. Its not really a brainteaser like the Cube as there is no single right solution.
Snake Cube Solitaire Puzzle Game
This is the unique snake cube solitaire game made of 27 wooden cubes, each with a 360-degree swivel. To start, completely unravel the snake into a straight line. The object of the game is to reassemble the snake back into a perfect cube. Great for taking on a long journey. Tip: Use the label/brand on the middle square as your guide when getting it back into the square.
Labyrinth – Wooden Maze
This is one of the most classic games in this list and has captivated kids & adults for generations. It requires dexterity and concentration, which are put to the test as you turn the side knobs to tilt the labyrinth board and guide the steel ball through the maze.
Tower of Hanoi
To solve this classic toy, you need to use repetitive sequential moves. Only one disk may be moved at a time and you can not put a larger one onto a smaller one. It a very ancient puzzle that requires dexterity in moving the tower from one post to another post. This is a great childrens toy that will help them develop logic thinking.
Rubik’s Professor Cube 5×5
This is the most challenging and complex of all Rubik’s Cube levels. This cube game introduces a significant challenge to everyone that tries to solve it. It is based on the classic toy, but requires significantly more creative thinking.
Rubik’s Cube
Of course the Cube is still my number 1 of all classic toys. This classic toy was invented in 1974 in Budapest, Hungary by Erno Rubik. Today the Rubik’s cube is still one of the best selling brain teasers and logic puzzle. Its also one of the best educational toys and games, and suited as a children learning toys.
