MATCHSTICK CHALLENGE

MATCHSTICK CHALLENGE
Brain Child
Tillywig Award Winner 2021

Ningbo GuDong Creative Technology Co.,Ltd
$13.80
3+ yrs.

MATCHSTICK CHALLENGE proved to be an enormously fun way for youngsters to hone their problem-solving skills by completing geometric and mathematical puzzles using magnetic play matchsticks. The set's 50 challenges are ordered from easiest to hardest, with the difficulty level increasing in small, confidence-boosting increments that help keep kids thoroughly engaged and entertained along the way. The lid of the package swings open to serve as the magnet-responsive backing onto which each illustrated challenge card is placed. The visually-enticing setups for the challenges are widely varied in ways that inspire curiosity, creativity and a mathematical mindset, while the act of changing the shapes by altering the positions of the magnetic matchsticks helps build manual dexterity. An included booklet provides individual solutions to all 50 challenges, though in our experience kids took great pride in being able to solve the majority of them without referring to the answers!
