Infinite Puzzle

by Alejandra Fernandez

Designed for children ages 5-8, this puzzle-like toy brings infinite possibilities of fun. Each piece is specially designed to perfectly fit in any other piece, either in two or three dimensions, giving children the opportunity to build anything they want. There are 6 basic shapes for the pieces: square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon and two different circles.

Pieces are made of 5mm MDF wood, to make it environmentally friendly and safe for children as well as durable. Various graphics are stamped on both sides of the piece and the graphic possibilities are infinite.

Each piece measures about 120 mm, making them big enough for young children to handle them accurately, reinforcing their fine mobility. The Infinite Puzzle also helps children acquire social skills by encouraging them to share with other children who have the same toy, joining their pieces and building something bigger. Creative skills are also intensely developed by The Infinte Puzzle, allowing children to actually build what they imagine.

The Infinite Puzzle is a social toy for children and for designers. Children can play together mixing their pieces and creating bigger and better things with more pieces. At the same time this can become a collaborative project for designers, who can contribute with their own graphic designs for The Infinite Puzzle pieces.
