what is a lenticular puzzle - is this good for a 5 year old?

My five year old has several of these "3D puzzles". She loves them, but honestly, I can't help her at all with them. (She likes to "show me" how to do puzzles) They give me horrible headaches. They don't seem to bother my daughter or my three year old, but all the adults seem to have the same issues - headaches.

It depends on the 5-year-old, really. I would say, in general, a child that age would need close supervision. The way we've done these Ravensburger puzzles is to sort the pieces by the number on the back of each piece, and try to put the puzzle together in number order. Some of these puzzles have taken several days, but the end result is worth it if you have a patient child!

I believe your 5 year old would enjoy Story Cubes, with assistance from you. On this particular set the cubes have pictures on all sides, and with assistance a 5 year old can make up a story or a sentence, in my opinion.

Five year-old granddaughter with exceptional puzzle-solving skills loves it. As a retired teacher of Gifted, I would think puzzle-solving skills might be the first consideration. I would have used it in my Second Grade Class.

We gave it to a 10 year old who seemed to enjoy it. I'm thinking it is a bit delicate and, since it is 3D, probably too difficult for a 5 year old.

Yes. Our 4 year old is very good at these type of puzzles. He has a brother two years older and a cousin 5 years older that found this "toy" very entertaining and challenging.

I think a 5 year old will enjoy it. It is more simple than the regular Rubik and a nice introduction to the actual one once the 5 yr old gets older =) My son enjoyed it very much.

I think it would be pretty frustrating for most 5 year olds. They could assist, of course, particularly if they have a long attention span and pretty good fine motor skills. A five year old might get a bigger thrill out of one of those giant floor puzzles, if you could find one with a picture he/she really liked.

Yes, 3 is fine. They still enjoy as they are closer to 4. Such a cute puzzle!!!

Do u mean the magnetic boards u put the shapes on? If so, there is a more challenging puzzle on the other side.I purchased this last year as a gift and don't have it in front of me. The family I gave it to loved it for their child.

It looks like maybe both. Some of their other puzzles are just stickered. It's held up better than some of the other puzzles I've bought but still shows wear and tear. My child still loves it either way. It's probably her fav puzzle.

It is not a different puzzle so will have the same skill requirements of a standard rubiks cube. It is a much higher quality of the ones in the stores since it is a speed cube. Your son will never use his regular cube again after using a speed cube since it is much easier to turn and doesn't have stickers that peel off.

Some are the same shapes e.g. the squares. But there are new shapes, like the wheels, and triangles/squares with hole in middle of it. It's a fun supplement to the 100 piece for building more imaginary objects. My son enjoys both every much. I think this set is worth buying when the kids run out of ideas (which is unlikely) with the 100 piece or when multiple kids fight for the now limited 100 pieces.

I gave one to my 12-year-old grandson last year, and he solved it within a half hour, so way too easy for him. I would think a child between 6 and 10 would probably enjoy it the most. It needs to be somewhat difficult for them, or it won't hold their attention. It was a lot of money for 1/2 hour entertainment.

I think a five year old would not be too interested in this item. It's more for a younger child. A more interactive item might be better.tive

I'm not sure about that as it was a gift for my mom who is the puzzle enthusiast. What I would suggest is you contact the seller. In my experience with them, their customer service couldn't have been more top notch. I haven't seen customer service like theirs in a very long time. Great people.

The puzzle itself is on the bigger side, a little larger than a kitchen table place-mat if I had to guess. The pieces are larger than "normal" pieces, but not huge. My 4-year-old loves this puzzle!!
