OT Approved Toy | Kanoodle

If you've followed my blog for any period of time, then you are probably aware that I frequently partner with Educational Insights to offer honest reviews of their toys that I feel have therapeutic value. What you might not know is that I was a fan of Educational Insight toys and games long before they ever reached out to me for a partnership. So now you know the backstory to how I came to be a partner with Educational Insights.


Today I'd like to share the very first game I ever purchased from Educational Insights: Kanoodle. Kanoodle is a visual perceptual, strategy game that is fun for kids and adults. If you like single person strategy games like Sudoku puzzles, then you'll probably enjoy Kanoodle. Kanoodle consists of 12 pieces of connected beads, each a different shape and color. Use the included puzzle book to choose from over 100 2D and 3D puzzles, ranging from easy to difficult. As shown in the photo above, the puzzle book will show you where to place some of the puzzle pieces, and then it's up to you to figure out how to fit in the remaining pieces!
