A NOTE FROM LAURI:
Benefits of wire puzzles. In the world of puzzles, wire puzzles are considered mechanical puzzles because they include mechanically interlinked pieces. There are many kinds of mechanical puzzles, including disentanglement puzzles such as wire puzzles, where the interlinked pieces need to be disentangled in order to solve the puzzle.
- 3D Visual Spatial Reasoning. Wire puzzles need to be moved around in a 3D space to determine solutions, which promotes spatial skills. Rotate the pieces, look at the puzzle from different viewpoints, and picture in your mind how the pieces can be disentangled!
- Tactile Learning Activity. Throw tedious and unappealing tasks aside! The smooth touch and feel of wire puzzles provides an enjoyable tactile learning activity. You will find it hard to put the puzzle aside because there is an appeal to the actual touch and feel.
- Develop Critical Thinking Skills. Mind bending wire puzzles stimulate critical thinking skills. Do you need to systematically try different solutions? Do you need to sit back and think of creative "out of the box" ways to disentangle the pieces? Each puzzle is different, and you need to approach each puzzle in a different way, creating more cognitive pathways in your brain!
