Toys and Games Reviews of Kanoodle
Customer Review: educational and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game for a plane ride - my 6-yr-old daughter saw it and was immediately hooked. The toy contains 12 pieces of differently shaped but connected balls (called "noodles") that should fit in every single position in the box. There are roughly 100 puzzles, from very easy - the first ones require you to place 11 noodles in certain configurations, so it's a no-brainer where to put the last piece. The more advanced ones require you to pre-arrange six noodles, so you have to figure out how the remaining six pieces fit into the box. There are also 3-dimensional puzzles in the instruction book requiring you to put the pieces together to build a pyramid. Like other reviewers have pointed out, don't lose the instruction book, because that's where all the puzzles are contained. The game is addicting and fun.
Lonpos must have licensed this game to Educational Insight, the company that sells Kanoodle, as Lonpos is listed on the back of the Kanoodle box. Lonpos' version is similar, with the 12 pieces having the same configuration as Kanoodle. Search for "Lonpos 505" - the 505 means there are 505 puzzles, compared with Kanoodle's 100 puzzles. If I had to do my purchase again, I'd buy the Lonpos 505 for the extra 400+ puzzles. In any case, this seems to be a very educational game.
