Stenzzles

Stenzzles

The goal of Stenzzles is to look at the 2D puzzle and recreate it. It will take time and trial and error to figure out the solutions as card layers can be flipped and rotated into multiple positions, and you will have to figure out where within the eight cards each layer goes. Most of each card will be covered by layers on top. Layer pieces are plastic, and the challenges are printed in a folded booklet. Each challenge will be presented as a finished pattern (see the frog above, bottom right). Try the four orientations on the front of each card and if none look right, flip the card to the back and try the four orientations on the back. Good for those who like a challenge and don't frustrate easily. Answers are in the back of the book. This puzzle is available in a variety of themes.

Try this:

• For a beginner, lay all of the plastic layers in the correct order and orientation and let him assemble.
• Increase the difficulty by giving the plastic layers in the correct order, but not the correct orientation.
• Give verbal cues such as "turn to the right", "rotate" or "flip".
• Work on spatial relations, visual discrimination, figure ground, visual closure, visual form constancy, executive functioning skills, process skills, manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, play and leisure exploration and participation

In the box: 8 plastic card layers, plastic black background layer, puzzle book with 8 challenges and solutions, puzzle stand
