Educational Insights Kanoodle Cosmic Brainteaser Game - 14pc

The game is small and not used for younger kids

It was purchased for my 8 year old grandson, who is a savant, so finding things to keep him constantly entertained can be a challenge, but this & the other Kanoodle games/challenges he has ( almost all ) does just the trick, he loves them, every one. He loves trying to see if he can make his own challenges out of them as well as completing the ones in the little book of challenges that come in the box. Highly recommend these as a fun challenge for kids as young as maybe 5/6 too, well, there's no limit, just buy them & let them try them.

Enjoying working on the puzzles. Only at the beginning though

My 9 year old loves this game. We were big fans of the original Kanoodle with the balls so we were excited to see this new version. With the covid restrictions this year, my daughter has to take a bag of toys they can play with independently at recess. This goes in that bag everyday and provides a fun challenge each day at recess. Love it!

This compact game is a brain teaser! It is perfect for brain breaks while working from home. It's the gift that keeps on giving because there are multiple puzzles to complete. The pieces are amoeba-like and interesting to piece together. We would have preferred playing cards instead of having all the puzzles located side by side in a booklet. We took this with us on a picnic with friends and kept it in our diaper bag to whip out if we needed entertainment while on the road. Definitely is easy to travel with! Our friend's 4th and 7th grader loved it!

In this day and age where our kids are inundated with screen time, especially for e-learning, this game was a great escape. My older is really into puzzle time games and this is a great option. We can both be engaged taking turns. Our younger is too young for this game but seeing both of us interested has piqued her interest as well.

My son loves this puzzle game. He loves the designs in the books and loves the challenge of recreating the designs. It's been a great activity from all of the ELearning that we are currently doing- break from the screen, the constant zooming/talking and something tactile for him to do. Many times when the teacher calls for a short zoom break, he'll work on a puzzle! I love that it's resting his eyes, working his brain differently, and that he likes it. I really like that it's something quiet for him to do, which I probably appreciate more than he does. LOL!! In all seriousness, my son says Kanoodles is more challenging than you think and surprised himself that not all the designs a given. His goal to make each design in the book, which I love. It's a great game and totally a great gift for bday or holiday!

This is a great puzzle game to have sitting near the sofa or wherever your family hangs out. My kids (9, 11, 14) and I like puzzles and I find them picking it up, working ages of the puzzles for a bit and then moving on. It's a great break from screens. It definitely tests you puzzle solving skills, spatial-relations, etc. I love that it's all in one case. It's great for road trips/travel as another non-screen option.

I love how it's challenging yet addicting in the best way! Kids to adults can all play!

Love Kanoodle and this one is engaging and fun. My 10 yo finds this one to be challenging for her. Great puzzle to have for breaks during virtual learning.

Calling all puzzle lovers like my family.. this is a great on the go puzzle that will keep you busy for hours. It is like 100 puzzles all in one little case. We are huge Kanoodle lovers and ordered the Kanoodle Flip when it came out several months ago and this Kanoodle Cosmic puts a different spin on puzzles. First, you need to look for the colored piece and fit it in the way the picture is asking you to place it on the board. Then, the challenge will be to figure out the piece that is missing to complete the puzzle. I took a video of my daughter doing one of the earlier puzzles so you can see what it looks like. For any kid/adult that is stuck, Kanoodle has a key on the picture to let you know which side of the puzzle piece to place on the board, but I always challenge the kids and even myself to just look at the color and try to place it on the board. The puzzles get progressively harder and have more pieces missing so you have to figure out the right way to fit the piece. The goal of each puzzle is to place all of the pieces on the board in the right way. Educational Insights continues to come up with fun ways for kids to stay engaged and keeps the packaging simple and easy to transport anywhere. We can't wait to share this puzzle with cousins and friends!

I am a puzzle queen! I love nothing more than working on a puzzle or brain teaser While I listen to music, a book, or a podcast. I am a second grade teacher and also try to keep puzzles like this in my classroom so my students have similar options. I find it to be really helpful for those of us who need multi-sensory input. This game is perfectly compact and doesn't include too many pieces. I love that it would be easy to travel with, and kids could certainly play in the car. All of the pieces fit in the opposite side while you're trying to arrange them on the board. I definitely recommend this for any puzzle lovers!

Cosmic Kanoodle is an excellent game to build spatial awareness and problem solving skills. I love it for my 6 and 5 year olds. They can work together by asking for the piece they need to solve puzzles or work alone. We are using this during math choice time with distance learning and it keeps both kids engaged (kindergarten and first grade). This will also travel well and I love that the pieces fit into the case for neat storage. My daughter asked if we could add it to our restaurant activity kit when we return to dining out. I'll admit that I played a few rounds myself!

We just received our Kanoodle Cosmic game and the kids (3 and 5) haven't stopped playing with it. The basic puzzle game is great for my 3 year old while my 5 year old likes to challenge herself by trying some of the more difficult puzzles. The products actual size is great, it is perfect for travel. We have been using the puzzle on both short car trips to the grocery store and longer trips as well. I love children's toys that come with a storage case for all the pieces and this game definitely has it. The case contains all the pieces and instructions and is small enough to keep in the small pouch of my kids backpacks. I would highly recommend this game.
