A fond memory of my childhood is building jigsaw puzzles and the feeling of accomplishment gained at completion. A 3D jigsaw puzzle is even more rewarding because yinz can actually interact with the finished puzzle. Unlike a standard jigsaw puzzle that you build, admire your work, and then take apart, a 3D puzzle provides interaction, fun, and can even become part of your decor.
A 3D jigsaw puzzle adds a whole new dimension to the standard flat puzzle. These 3D puzzles offer an additional challenge when building in 3D and add a variety to the finished product. Often these puzzles allow you to recreate iconic replica locations, or they provide a functional entertainment in the form of a Rube Goldberg machine. If you love traditional puzzles, enjoy challenging your mind and puzzle building skills with a 3D version.
Enjoy your 3D Rube Goldberg jigsaw puzzle!
Building a jigsaw puzzle is a wonderful bonding experience between you and your child. The experience is a win-win for both of you and has a great medical benefit. Building a puzzle increases the production of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter and is responsible for our mood and optimism. Every time we find a piece in a puzzle and experience the finished product, we increase our brain’s production of this “happy” chemical.
Rokr has created a marble run series of 3D wooden puzzles. The 3D jigsaw puzzles are made of natural plywood, and the wooden sheets are pre-cut to fit together. They are easy to assemble and no glue is needed. All materials are non-toxic. The puzzles are an engineering feat as the precise gear design creates dozens of gimmicks for you to watch. It’s a nice introduction to engineering and the structure of machines for your young ones.
Not only is it fun to build this Rube Goldberg puzzle, but it doesn’t end there. Bring out the steel ball marbles included and enjoy the fruits of your labor. A small hand crank operates the entire mechanism. Once the system is going, the crane lifter acts as an elevator to move the balls up to the next level. From there a wheel lifter brings the marbles to the very top of your 3D jigsaw puzzle. One at a time, the balls go through a flip-flop mechanism and are released on two different paths, which then run along a series of straight and curved rails.
The 3D jigsaw puzzle is also a great piece of decor for your home. The fun is endless for everyone to see and play!
