ROMBIX® JR.
This acrylic set, inspired by Alan Schoen's Rombix, has just
four shapes, each in four colors: a single rhomb, a square, a chevron (pair of rhombs), and a "boot" (paired rhomb and square). These four pieces can
also form a small octagon. The variety of pretty patterns they can make is astonishing — they are a natural for creating kaleidoscopic symmetries. Young children enjoy seeing the puzzle come out different every time. Rombix Jr. is packaged in a 5½" tray, with an illustrated booklet that contains many activities suitable for 1 and 2 players, ages 5 to adult. |

ROUNDOMINOES®
Squiggly shapes of 1, 2, and 3 "rounds" and
"bridges" fill the 5.75" acrylic tray in countless colorful ways. This puzzle has been one of our bestsellers since 1983. The illustrated booklet includes many variations for ages 6 to adult as well as rules for 3 games for 2 players. Available in 7 color choices. |

 TEN-YENTM
A "Treasured Oldie" from 1950 — with 17,995 solutions! The ten acrylic pieces include all the shapes of 1, 2, and 3 squares in size, plus 3 each of the 4s and 5s. The three colors all cover the same area, but it's tough to get them all to make the same shape. Filling the 6x6 pattern in the 5½" tray with color-matching and non-matching is just a small part of the countless figures to solve, both easy and tough. Great for one to four players, ages 8 to adult. $23

acrylic with 7" tray, in five color choices. Suggested for ages 8 to adult. |

Make up stories, mimic the bears' poses for dance moves, invent dialogues. All laser-cut acrylic, washable. With display stand. Handbook included for the responsible adult. For 1 to 6 players.
