To solve this new Rubik’s puzzle you need to get the coloured balls into the matching coloured domes. A simple idea, like the original Rubik’s Cube from the 1980s, but it requires great skill, dexterity and smart thinking to achieve the solution. The answer is said to lie in the clever way the spheres interact when you twist the puzzle in your hands.
For ages 8 years and older

The Map of Ireland jigsaw provides and excellent fun way for children to learn some geographic facts about the country. Children will become familiar with the country’s shape and will be able to start learning about the county names and locations. It’s safe for children of 3 years and older to play with, however, I prefer to recommend around 5 years and older to get the best educational value from this 32 piece puzzle. Read more
