Ages 18 months–3 years
Problem Solving and Logic Toys
Toys where the answer is not on the box. Sliding puzzles, logic boards, single-player challenge decks and strategy games — each one sets a problem the child has to take apart before they can solve it. Trial and error is the point, not a failure of the toy.
Sorted so a five-year-old and a ten-year-old both find something at the edge of what they can already do.

Problem-solving toys
The best problem-solving toys give a clear goal and many ways to fail safely. Trial and error is the point, not a failure of the toy, and graded challenge cards let a child climb one level at a time.
By age
- 3 to 5: the Wooden Block-Fit Puzzle Board and the Wooden Fitting Board: fitting shapes into a fixed space.
- 3 to 6: the Wooden Stick Layering Puzzle, where over, under and crossing is harder than it looks.
- 6 to 8: Codebreaker, using what is ruled out as well as what is confirmed, and the Balance Duck Scales Game.
- 8 to 10: the Path Building Logic Puzzle, and more graded single-player challenges in brain teasers.
Worth knowing
