Which puzzle for which age?

Everyone can learn something from puzzles.
You stimulate and improve various skills such as problem solving, creativity, motor skills and much more.
At Speedcube.co.uk we have a wide range of puzzles suitable for different ages and skill levels!

Puzzles for toddlers (1-3 years)

For toddlers, simple puzzles with large, sturdy pieces are ideal.
These puzzles help develop fine motor skills and spatial awareness.
Look for wooden jigsaw puzzles or puzzles with knobs that are easy to grasp.

Puzzles for preschoolers (ages 4-6)

Preschoolers can handle slightly more complex puzzles, often with 10-30 pieces.
Puzzles with familiar themes such as animals, vehicles or fairy tale characters are very popular.
These puzzles encourage logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Puzzles for children (7-10 years)

Children in this age group are ready for puzzles with 50-200 pieces and sometimes even a little more.
They can already handle puzzles with more detailed pictures and different shapes.
Puzzles help improve concentration and patience.
At this age, these are important points to develop and focus on.
Our children’s puzzles are perfect for further developing their skills.
For example, take a look at our Wooden City puzzles.
These puzzles consist of puzzle pieces that each have a different shape.
For example, the pieces of the animal puzzles each have the shape of a different animal.

Puzzles for teens (ages 11-15)

Teens often look for more challenging puzzles with 500 pieces or more.
These puzzles may include complex patterns or landscapes.
So at this age, most children can already handle puzzles where the patterns get a little trickier.
Thus, children are constantly challenged.

Puzzles for adults

For adults, there are countless options, ranging from 1000-piece puzzles to 3D puzzles and puzzles with special themes.
You can make it as hard on yourself as you want.
Are you still a beginner?
Then start with not too difficult and large puzzles.
We recommend puzzles with 500 to 1000 pieces.
Do you find that you can do this easily?
Then go for a 2000 piece puzzle and work your way up for more challenge.
Even if you are looking for a challenge other than just increasing the number of pieces, Speedcube.co.uk is the right place for you.
A really ideal option, for example, are the Wasgij puzzles. There is still some kind of gameplay involved here! That really makes you think for a while and makes puzzling a lot more complicated again. Puzzles are not only relaxing, but also a way to keep the brain active. So for the elderly, this is a perfect activity. It keeps you young by preventing cognitive decline. In our assortment you will find an incredibly wide range of adult puzzles of all shapes and sizes to choose from. So be sure to take a look at all the different categories and pick out the ideal puzzle!
