Q. What
age range do you recommend for the sculpture puzzles?
|
A. Ages 8 to 98. The
sculpture puzzles help build spatial reasoning skills in the young, and
help maintain manual dexterity in the the young-at-heart.
|
|
Q. Do I
need to buy glue or other materials to complete the puzzles?
|
A. No glue is
necessary to hold the puzzles together, and everything you need in
included in each kit.
|
|
Q. Do
you have any tips on how to assemble the puzzles?
|
A. Use the illustrated
instructional sheet provided with each puzzle kit to get you
started. Gently squeezing the interlocking tabs until you hear a
"clicking" sound ensures a tight fit. To insert the final puzzle
piece, you may have to gently loosen the surrounding pieces to maneuver
it in. If you have a very difficult time getting the pieces
together, have a friend help hold the puzzle as you assemble it.

|
Q. How
can I use the sculptures once they are complete?
|
A. The puzzles are
the perfect size for a bookshelf or desk accessory. They are also
light-weight, and make great mobiles by tying a loop of string around
them.
The 100% recycled material is attractive on its own, however, the
sculptures can be painted -- either acrylic or oil-based paint works
well. The sculptures may also be gently disassembled by inserting
a small, narrow blade (like a pen-knife) between the interlocking tabs,
and can be assembled and disassembled over and over.
