Tips for Choosing, Buying and Playing
With Wooden Cube Puzzle

This wooden puzzle come with a piece of paper depicting pictures which can be assembled from the cubes. Since a cube has 6 sides, then one set of wooden cube puzzle will provide 6 different puzzle pictures to assemble. Therefore, buying one set of a cube puzzle is like buying 6 different jigsaw puzzles. The level of difficulty of a cube puzzle depends on how many cubes required to make a picture and how obvious each piece is for assembling a picture. Read on how to determine the difficulty of a puzzle here .

We find that this activity is definitely too difficult for a young toddler to do mainly because there are too many pictures available. However, a young preschooler may be able to handle a 2- pieces cube wooden puzzle, i.e. a cube puzzle which only needs 2 pieces of cubes to make a complete picture . Small World Toys makes such puzzle called Sound Block. When a child matches the correct cubes, he is rewarded with a sound. For instance, when the child matches the correct animal cube, he or she will hear the animal sound for instance : a moo moo or a woof woof. Similarly, when a child matches the correct vehicle cubes, then the vehicle sound will be heard.

As your child gets older, he or she will be able to handle more pieces. However, it is important to bear in mind that although your child is able to handle 4-pieces jigsaw puzzles, it does not mean that he or she is ready for the same number of wooden cube puzzle pieces because there are some pictures available in one cube that he or she may confuse the pieces.

We also find that these cube wooden puzzles can be used for purposes other than for assembling a picture. When not used as a puzzle, these cubes are good enough for stacking and building activities. Therefore, we think that wooden cube puzzle is definitely a good value for money.
