Castle Logix

Yes, Your 3 Year Old Can Think and Problem Solve.
Jigsaw puzzles are great for kids, but what do you do when your child is ready to move on to something more that will challenge them once again? If you are reading this review, you know the answer.

Castle Logix is probably the best puzzle/game that you've never heard of. So simple in concept and yet so thought provoking for your child. The 12 "starter" challenges use 3 of the 4 blocks, and all 3 of the towers. Your child stacks the blocks to match the picture in the book. 12 "junior" challenges add the 4th block into the mix. The 12 "expert" challenges involve balancing the blocks and towers in some way so that they don't fall rather than just stacking them. Finally, the 12 "master" challenges use the non-painted side of the blocks, forcing your older child to really tax their brain to match up the blocks.

For my child, 3&1/2 was the perfect age to start with these. We start with the first challenge each time and build up to the stopping point every time we...
Another happy parent!
My child (3.5 yrs) spent a good 30 minutes when she first received this puzzle toy. She continues to love it and, more importantly it seems, it makes me feel good that she has an educational toy. At the end of the day, I'm not sure how much of these edu toys are really going to enhance my child beyond what she would have achieved without it and through play with non edu toys, but what the heck - the marketing people have got me. On the more serious side, it is made well (although I didn't have the toy tested for chemicals) except that for certain lots, the coloring of the orange picture is sometimes represented as yellow in the book.
Fantastic, well made building puzzle for little ones and up.
Castle Logix is a spacial puzzle recommended for children ages 3-8. There are four blocks of different sizes (all square or rectangular) with colored castle structures on some sides, blank wood on some and holes through others, and three towers of different length that are placed through the holes. The goal is to figure out how to fit the pieces together to match one of the pictures of built castes in the instruction book (solutions are on back pages). There are four levels of difficulty, increasing gradually from puzzles to delight and teach toddlers to ones that will challenge older children (and possibly adults).

The pieces are sturdy, the concept ingenious and the puzzles appropriately scaled for difficulty. I got this for a three year old, who while not exactly always trying to solve the puzzles "as intended" loves it and is getting a lot out of building her own structures. The great part about this is as she gets older she'll play with it differently, but will...
