INFORMATION
Kanoodle is a collection of fun, logical thinking puzzles. It’s great for promoting children’s spatial reasoning skills and developing their self-confidence with problem-solving. For adults, these puzzles help maintain lifetime cognitive function. Exercising the brain is great for all ages! 101 puzzles are included, which makes Kanoodle perfect for everyone from puzzle-loving children to puzzle-master adults. The small, portable case makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go.
The Puzzles
There are 6 levels of 2-D (rectangle) puzzles and 3 levels of 3-D (pyramid) puzzles, as well as some “Kanoodle quizzes” for both types of puzzles. Levels 1 and 2 of the 2-D puzzles are great for young children. As the levels increase, the puzzles become progressively more difficult. The 3-D puzzles are considerably more difficult than the 2-D puzzles, so it’s a good idea to begin with the 2-D puzzles and work your way up in difficulty.
The Noodles
Every Kanoodle puzzle uses all 12 of the noodles (puzzle pieces). Each noodle is unique and designated with a letter. Each puzzle has a diagram, indicating where to place some of the noodles. Your challenge is to use the remaining noodles to fill in every remaining space on the board.
2-D Puzzles
Why are some spaces colored?
In a 2-D puzzle, colored spaces with letters indicate which noodles you should use and where to place them to set up the problem.
