What kind of toys do I love for my students?
The toy needs to be functional, non-messy, low noise level, something that makes them think (cognitive)
The FlipStir Puzzle is all of the above!! The puzzle is self contained in a cylinder, and the only thing that you can move the pieces around with is a built-in wand and gravity. The idea reminds me of those ships in a bottle, except at an easier repeatable level.
The FlipStir comes in different levels, and each level has specific designs. The design of the specific puzzle you purchased is pictured at the bottom of the cylinder for reference. My puzzle was the "Solar System" which is great for teaching science, and getting kids interested in Astronomy. Puzzle are great for building problem solving skills and getting people at all ages thinking.
I am 27, and many of my friends are around the same age and they thought it was the coolest thing. It had them entertained for a while. The 6th grade students love it. I allow the kids free time for good behavior and they always for this puzzle. I love that the pieces are self contained, and when they finish up the puzzle we set them on the book shelves for reference during science class.
