Puzzle Games

Inspire your child to think outside of the box with our exciting range of puzzle games and activities. From classic board games such as Monopoly and Operation through to new Rubik and Uno games, this range of mind boggling antics will expand the brains of your children and bring everyone together for some traditional family fun.

The Benefits of Puzzle Games

From colourful wooden puzzles for young children through to three dimensional tests for wannabe geniuses, the benefits of children playing with puzzles are well documented. While many still feel that setting goals and problem solving skills are the greatest proficiencies developed by puzzles, in today’s society the patience required to complete a game provides the ideal remedy to the online gaming philosophy so many of our children are now locked into.

A single jigsaw puzzle can provide hours of fun and there isn’t a screen in sight. Simply picking up the small pieces of a picture puzzle, or trying their nerve with Operation, develops essential fine motor skills that all children need to perfect their writing skills.

Other games will introduce the concept of reading the time, handling money, or even understanding the basic ingredients of cooking a good meal.

There are puzzle games for young children that will develop their shape recognition or help them identify their letters. Some will ignite their love of Disney and make sure their Pixar character recognition is spot on.

We have travel versions of popular puzzle games so that your kids can be entertained while they are away from home. Three dimensional puzzles can even challenge the most talented adult.

Puzzles Brought Into the 21st Century

While some of the most popular puzzle games for children are still classics like Scrabble and Jenga, there is also a new breed of games developed to appeal to a new generation. Games such as Bananagrams and Pass the Bomb will help with word construction and spelling, while Battleships can now be played against your partner, or against the game itself. There are strategy games that your children can play on their own, or fun-packed party games that the whole family can enjoy together.

A puzzle game is a time-honoured way to inspire your children, develop many essential skills and indulge in some good old fashioned family entertainment.  Here at The Toy Store we have a puzzle game to suit everyone – whether you are buying a pre-school toy, or a gift for older family members.
