This wooden Glittering Mandala creative puzzle is large, vibrant, and beautiful...plus it sparkles! Just TRY to keep your hands off it! Made in Germany by Grimm's Spiel & Holz Design, this lovely set will inspire creativity in both adults and children (recommended for about ages 5 years & up).

Includes 76 thick wood blocks pieces in attractive pinks, mauves and greenish-blues. Adding the "sparkle" are acrylic "stones" in complementary and contrasting colors, embedded into each solid wooden piece. The thick block pieces can be arranged into an unlimited number of new patterns and designs, or used as building blocks to create structures, including in combination with other wooden blocks sets. This is a free-form puzzle, as opposed to a traditional puzzle with a single "solution." 

The aim of this and other Grimm's creative puzzles is to inspire imaginative thinking through play. Young and old alike will enjoy exploring unique ways to arrange the blocks into beautiful designs, patterns and structures. MANDALA means 'Circle' but also 'Center' - as in wholeness. Mandalas are complex, symmetrical circular designs traditionally used for meditative purposes by drawing the eye toward the center. Working with this puzzle can be an invigorating, meditative, or relaxing creative process for all ages. 

The blocks measure 4 cm in thickness, making the Glittering Mandala part of Grimm's large 4x4" building family, so the pieces combine seamlessly with any of the other large 4x4 block sets by Grimm's. 

Grimm's Spiel and Holz Design of Germany creates handcrafted, imaginative wooden toys designed to help children discover and develop their own creativity. Inspired by the philosophy of Waldorf education, Grimm's high-quality designs encourage exploration, the use of imagination, and spark problem solving and creative play.
