Fun puzzles. Difficult enough to challenge older kids

Fun puzzles. Difficult enough to challenge older kids. Too hard for the little ones. My daughter is 9 and struggled with some of these. Each puzzle comes with a little paper that has the solution on it, so if you don't lose that, you can help them when they get frustrated.

Package arrived fine, inside however 2 of the puzzles individual wrapping was torn and they were scratched up badly.

Used as party favors for kids party, they were probably too young for them. They are cheaply made and difficult for little fingers.

2 stars for them coming damaged not the product themselves. Though the kids had a tough time, you really get what you pay for I bought them cheap and I'm not surprised the didnt work as I wanted them to.

These are fun for kids and adults. Good way to work out the brains of hands on kids. I'd say for 10 and older 3D puzzle lovers or maybe as young as 8 for high IQ puzzle lovers. Moms and dads have fun with them too! Bought to put in a bags of party favors.

Too hard to put together.

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have a feeling that this is designed for someone who has more than two hands. Some pieces need to be position in a certain way, before another piece can be put in place. It is so hard to put together after taking the puzzle apart. My 6-year old was crying after failing to the puzzle back. Definitely, not for young kids, even adults cannot put the puzzle together without someone's help. Not recommended for kids' goodie bags

Makes great ornaments

FUN! I made ornaments out of these. The gear style one is impossible to figure out or it just doesn't work. Overall, though, it was worth the price without the gear style one.
