Smart Games Brain Train
(SmartGames $29.99)
For kids who love transportation toys, this is a three-dimensional puzzle with train and blocks, and brain teaser problems to solve. It comes with a booklet of 48 challenges that get progressively difficult. Players look at the image in the booklet and work to reproduce it by loading the train cars to match. We think this is more appropriate for early school years, despite the age on the box. It’s also a good choice for parent and child play. Take turns and play it cooperatively, giving kids strategies for solving the puzzles and modeling the fun of trial and error in problem solving.
Ages: Early School
