This item has been replaced with the Lonpos 505!
Are you looking for a pocket-sized cognitive workout that is travel-friendly? The Lonpos 303, with over 300 puzzles, guarantees that regardless of age, your brain will be challenged.
The Lonpos 303 consists of twelve multi-colored, multi-geometric, connected beads lying on a divot-like rectangular playing tray. These high-contrasting, colorful pieces are housed in a very lightweight black box which doubles as two playing boards and includes two full-color manuals with a total of 256 Rectangle 2-D and 47 Pyramid 3-D challenges.
Lonpos 303's clearly-written instruction booklet presents puzzle problems with illustrations that are a bit small but still quite clear. Your child begins play by placing one or more of his twelve pieces onto the board in specified positions, then uses his remaining pieces to fill in the board. I love how the game slowly but effectively develops children's visual-spatial skills through a series of very logical building steps. As children complete each puzzle, they improve their concentration, analytical skills, memory, fine-motor skills, and more.
The Lonpos 303 is self-contained within a compact 3" x 5.5", sturdy, latching plastic case, making it a natural to toss in the car for cross country trips and unexpected delays. Purchasing more than one Lonpos 303 allows children to race each other to the solutions. Lonpos 303 has won many awards, such as the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award 2006, Dr. Toy Best Vacation Children's Product, and Creative Child Magazine's Top Toy of the Year Award in the brainteaser games category. Marketed for children eight years old and older, I think that with occasional parental participation, Lonpos 303 could be used with home-taught children as young as three or four. Because of small pieces, it could be a choking hazard for children under three years of age. |
