At Heguru, there are a number of puzzle games you can purchase from their store for home use. They have puzzles like Tangrams and Iroita which the children currently use in class, but there are others as well. While shopping on the weekend, I noticed some ThinkFun puzzles at a toy display which look similar to those Heguru puzzle games. In particular were:
For parents living overseas who cannot purchase products directly from Heguru, I think these ThinkFun puzzle games are a great alternative to the puzzle games available at Heguru. In fact, I think ThinkFun has quite a number of pretty cool puzzle games that are great for children.
For more puzzle activities you can play with your child, do check out the other games from ThinkFun like these:
- Brick Logic – build a symmetrical brick wall by assembling five puzzle pieces to match the image on one of 60 challenge cards.

- Solitaire Chess – capture all the pieces using only legal chess moves.

Hi Shenli, may I know which shopping center you stumble across these interesting izzi puzzle pieces ?

I was at The Curve. They had the center court display over the weekend, but now it’s gone. I don’t know who was behind it so not sure where the toys are from. I’m guessing it was Metrojaya because I can’t think of any other store big enough to have all those toys out there.

Hi..I really like your post about the right brain education. My child is 2yo, I’m trying to do right brain activities for him at home, your blog is of great help and guidance. If possible can you send ( photocopy) of the schichida book, as they are not delivering it in India. It will be of great help to me, as I want to teach my child the correct way and don’t want to misguide him.
Thanks in advance.
Looking forward to your next blog on RBT.
Best Regards,
Amrin.
