Product Features

Children begin by doing puzzles at an early age. Once they've mastered that, though, they may become bored with more basic puzzles. Quadrilla presents a whole new challenge. It takes a different set of skills to see things and be able to put things together in three dimensions.
Read the directions, go slowly and work together; building Quadrilla can be a great bonding experience for you and your child.
Begin by grouping like pieces together by color and size. This will make putting Quadrilla together a little easier.
Because the puzzle has to stand up, it also uses some of the same skills that are used when stacking blocks. Which pieces will you put together first so that the structure will be balanced?
Your child will learn how to make the structure stand through trial and error. If it falls, just try and try again.
Quadrilla Basic Set can be built however your child likes, a different way each time. And each time he/she builds it, he/she will learn to keep in mind the way the marble will move through the maze, anticipating its movement.
Then release the marble and watch it go. Notice where it picks up speed or slows down. Explain to your child that gravity is what pulls the ball down through the maze and around the corners.
Have some fun by changing and rotating the pieces, then let the marble go and watch it shoot out of different holes. Make guesses with your child about where the marble will go. This will begin to develop his/her ability to anticipate an action.
