Description
The 200 Tetris-like Kanoodle puzzles in this set feature 12 different shapes of between 3 and 5 beads with thin connecting plastic. The puzzle board is a 5 x 11 region of dents in which you will configure your shapes. The object of the game is to fit all 12 shapes on the Kanoodle board, starting with the positions on the cards. As the cards get harder, you will start with fewer and fewer puzzle pieces. Each setup has hundreds of possible combinations but just one solution. It can get quite frustrating when you end up with one bead off the board and one open spot, but the more you try the closer (or farther) you can get. The challenge is what makes this game so fun! Once you master the 2D setup, you can play 3D Pyramid Kanoodle with the same key concept but one challenging twist—use all 12 pieces to make a pyramid. I hope you find this as fun and challenging as I did!

Category Description for Kanoodle
These Tetris-like puzzles feature several different shapes or "noodles" composed of beads stuck together with thin connecting plastic. The puzzle boards are regions of dents in which you will configure your shapes. The object of the game is to fit all of the noodles on the Kanoodle board, (the picture for each challenge starts you out by showing you the correct placement for some of the pieces). Each setup has hundreds of possible combinations but just one solution. It can get quite frustrating when you end up with one bead off the board and one open spot, but the more you try the closer (or farther) you can get. Once you master the 2D setup, you can play 3D Kanoodle with the same key concept but one challenging twist - use all of the pieces to make a pyramid. Kanoodle has twelve 3-5 bead shapes, a rectangular shaped game area, and 101 puzzles. Kanoodle Genius is composed of seven 5-bead shapes, features an irregularly shaped play area, and offers 195 advanced puzzles.

Can I Kanoodle too? has become one of the most frequently asked questions in our home lately I had my eye on this little contraption (I havent figured out if its a game puzzle memory drill or critical thinking exercise yet) for well over six months for my then 4-yr old puzzle aficionado We finally bought it for his 5th birthday and it has fast become a family favorite! We quickly purchased a second for the 7 yr old and the 12 yr old keeps sneaking his brothers! I even caught them teaching the 25 yr old to put it together! But the children are not just working the puzzles; it appears that they are in a competition to memorize as many puzzles as possible We have found these make great quiet time activities and they are easily transportable to wherever we are going by slipping into a pocket diaper bag or even Moms purse So when we are going somewhere that is lacking in childrens activities Kanoodle is sure to go with us Though I am now having another dilemma as we dont have enough to go around so Ill be ordering a couple more so we can all (yep Moms hooked too) have one! I wouldnt suggest Kanoodle for a little one who still puts things in the mouth but anyone who can read the diagrams to set up the puzzles can Kanoodle as the Level 1 puzzles are only missing 1 piece Also Kanoodle noodles and the carrying case are made of a sturdy plastic that should last the average childs quiet playtime and then some However I would caution that you may need more than just one because you may have a hard time simply watching the children Kanoodle and they make great gifts too!

Why did you choose this?
My 5 year old and 9 year old both love this game!
This was recommended to me to use in my classroom during the Logic Strand of Challenge A.
I need one for each child. They argue over who goes first.
Looks like a fun challenge for my students!
