So last year I picked the Perplexus as a top pick for Kids on MamasLittleHelper.. for me it was My son and his favorite gift all year.  I actually got to try it out at a blogher event and gave one to my son. Then proceed to buy 9 more and give them to all his friends.  They we a huge hit for the 10th birthday parties he attended.

It is still a top pick for me!

So if you don’t know what to buy the kids this is the gift!!!

• It has no batteries
• Causes kids to focus and concentrate as they move the ball through the maze
• It is a truly durable toy/puzzle
• teaches patient
• it does not make noise
• mind powered thinking involved
• Young and old will be addicted to solving this puzzle many many times
• My son asked for the other versions
• every kid who touched it had to play with it.  great for all
• a great gift go to gift for all birthdays and holidays
• it has no batteries (had to say it twice)

The added some new versions

The new harder version: Perplexus Epic $21.95 on amazon

and a younger version Perplexus Rookie from $18.25 on Amazon
