FlipStir Puzzle Review

My kids love puzzles, but often in our experience, the pieces get lost or bent up.  Having the baby in the house makes puzzle making even more difficult when “Simon-Zilla” crawls through the middle of whatever the big kids are doing.  With this in mind, I was excited to check out the Statue of Liberty FlipStir Puzzle from Enlivenze LLC.  I didn’t even know such a product existed!

What is it?

FlipStir is a self-contained, 10 piece 3D puzzle that is made right here in the USA.  Using the wand, you maneuver the puzzle pieces to create the picture in order.  The instructions are simple – Shake, Stir, Solve!  This particular puzzle is geared toward ages 7 and up.  No batteries and no lost pieces!  It features an easy to clean surface and helps improve fine motor skills and dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and spatial relations skills.

The award winning FlipStir puzzle has earned the following awards:

• 2015 Dr. Toy Top Ten Best Active Toys
• 2015 Creative Child Magazine “Puzzle of the Year”
• 2015 Seal of Approval from The National Parenting Center
• 2015 Family Choice Awards Winner
• 2014 Tillywig “Brain Child” award
• 2014 Creative Child Magazine “Game of the Year – Puzzle Games Category”
• Toy Man News & Reviews – The Toy Man “Seal of Approval,” The Toy Man “Award of Excellence,” The Toy Man “Editor’s Choice,” The Toy Man “Award of Recognition,” The Toy Man “S.T.E.M. Award,” The Toy Man “Mom Approved” Award

Our Thoughts:

We have had fun with the FlipStir puzzle, but I must say that it is much more challenging than it appears!  It took me a while to assemble the puzzle, much longer than I expected.  Out of the kids, only 1 of mine have been able to put the puzzle together, but not for a lack of trying!  It’s definitely been a challenge.  A couple kids did get frustrated with it but have kept going back to try and complete the puzzle.

The FlipStir Puzzle is a great toy to take along on car rides or traveling to keep little hands busy.  We are happy we had the chance to check out this puzzle and are eager to see if Enlivenze LLC brings out more puzzles in the future.
