There are 2 main regrets that I have over my childhood. Firstly, I never managed to get a Blue Peter badge and secondly I never completed my Rubik's cube. I even bought a book to tell me how too! Imagine my delight when I was sent Rubik's junior puzzles for the boys to review.




They come in 4 cute designs: bear, puppy, bunny and kitten. They are each split into 6 pieces that can be mixed up. The puzzles are aimed at ages 4+.  At aged 41 I am pleased to say I can actually complete these. Hurrah! My 9 year old is also able to with reasonable ease.

Apologies for a slightly blurry picture but big man was keen to solve the puzzle as soon as he could!

Both middle and little man (aged 7 and 5 respectively) have found them more challenging but not impossible. Middle man was over the moon when he showed me his completed bear.....


He decided he would try the puppy when I pointed out his body was upside down.

I really like these puzzles. Their design is appealing to younger children and they are easy enough to move around and complete that they won't be put off. With a RRP of £9.99 they make a nice little gift or stocking filler. For more information on stockists and other games from Rubik's you can view the John Adams Website.

I am also excited to be able to offer my readers the chance to win a Rubik's junior puzzle of their own. Just complete the Gleam entry below. Good Luck!
