Give a Brainteaser a Try
August 20th, 2011

Brainteasers increase your creativity and boost learning.  It’s best to get your child started on these as early as possible.  Something as simple as working a puzzle is a brainteaser – brain builder.   But we take it a step farther.  Not only do we have puzzles in stock, we also have a section of brainteasers.  In fact, if you haven’t stopped in and tried the Pack-it-In square or the Scramble Squares, you are in for a challenge.  Both for ages 4 – 104. We have had only one customer complete the Scramble Square puzzle in 5 minutes to win a Free one – and no-one has completed them at all – in the store.

We have some new designs in stock – so stop by.
