wooden puzzles
October 16th, 2009
These toys are so unassuming. They look very simple, just pieces of wood, but wooden puzzles can be frustratingly difficult to solve. Take for example the Locking Cube. Made of 7 separate pieces that are intricately cut, they look like a simple cube when assembled. Getting it apart is only half the battle. What more putting them together again.
Maybe you’d rather try the relatively simple “CCO” puzzle. It is a 3-piece wooden puzzle that got its name from the pieces that make up the assembly. The pieces resemble the letters “C”, “C” and “O.” This puzzle has a relatively easy solution which makes it perfect for beginners. It makes a nice looking decorative piece, too.
