Oh my goodness! This recently released game from Thinkfun is truly going to send me round the bend, grow grey hairs, deepen the wrinkles and keep me awake wondering. Check out the video below. Can't wait to get my hands on the game - quite a different one from Thinkfun.

This game would be excellent to develop childrens' understanding of translation, rotation, reflection.

Not quite a logic, problem solving puzzle but this classic game is a great one to keep the brain focused during the colder months. Follow the pattern for as long as you can.

It's been a while but ThinkFun have just made some amendments to their site and two great new games are up and running.
Click to play
Zingo and Zingo 1-2-3 are ideal for the three to seven year bracket. The game is a simple shape/word matching game in the style of Bingo. Zingo 1-2-3 is an excellent game for the reinforcement of basic addition facts. A nice feature is the parent's control which changes the difficulty level.
The Rush Hour version is the same as Rush Hour Minimum moves where the goal is to solve the puzzle most efficiently by removing the red car by covering the least distance.
