Playing Games with the Perplexus Original 3D Maze and Perplexus Rookie

We love to play games. Whether its physical games like tag or Elefun or mental games like picture matching. So when we received our Perplexus Original and Perplexus Rookie 3D mazes from PlaSmart, the makers of the PlasmaBike and PlasmaCar, we were excited to test them out and see how far we could go!

The Perplexus Original a physical puzzle maze that you control with your hands and your wit. The sphere contains a 3-D puzzle complete with turns, twists, and drops!  And the best part is, this maze is great for kids 8-108. It's quite amusing watching an adult get stumped while a child continues to go through the maze in no time!

The Perplexus Rookie is perfect for the under 8 crowd. Built with younger kids in mind, this Rookie is great for the 4 and up crowd. But you might be surprised to see that once your 4 year old masters the Rookie, they graduate to the Original in no time while the adults are still trying to figure out the Rookie.

I absolutely love how this game promotes the fine tuning of hand-eye coordination. It makes my son think, really think, about what his next move will be and how he can keep the ball from falling off the track.

He knows how to get the ball to the starting point and from there takes off slowly to try and make sure he's gently guiding the ball instead of sending it into orbit quickly. Once he gets through the first part he usually asks for a bit of help. And I'm happy to helpfully guide his hands through a few of the tougher spots.

As you can tell, he really gets into it. You can see the look of concentration on his face as he tries to maneuver through the stairs, flips, and turns.

The Perplexus Original and Perplexus Rookie are the perfect unique gift for any child or adult. They provide hours of unplugged entertainment and keep you guessing at every turn! And while a select few will master it in no time, those of us who aren't as quick will be able to take our time trying and trying again.

The patience this game is teaching my son is priceless!

Cruisin' Around Town on Our New PlasmaBike

Our family is now an official PlaSmart Family!

Both of my children love playing outside. We've even gone so far as to making our front yard a playground for the both of them complete with a play structure, sand box, and fun outside toys. But their favorite toys to play on are their PlasmaCar and PlasmaBike.

My daughter is 18 months old and still a bit too young for the PlasmaCar so when we received the PlasmaBike we knew it'd be the perfect ride for her to play on while her brother enjoyed his PlasmaCar.

The PlasmaBike not only provides a fun toy for my kids to play on, it also helps them learn balance so that they'll better transition to a bike with two wheels and a pedal. Say good-bye to the days of training wheels!

And just like the PlasmaCar, the PlasmaBike requires no batteries, gears, or pedals.

Being able to say goodbye to toys that require too much thinking to use has been a relief for me. We definitely prefer simple, fun toys that don't need too much maintenance and can be used quickly. And we've enjoyed both the PlasmaCar and PlasmaBike at home and on the go (we take them to the beach and use them on the boardwalk!).

My daughter was able to hop onto the bike within 3 minutes of getting the bike out of the box when it was delivered. And most of that time was spent convincing me to open the door for her so she could get out quickly to play. She knew exactly what to do once she was outside and quickly climbed onto her bike.

Since she's a bit on the petite side she didn't quite reach the floor yet with her feet so with the help of Daddy she was able to ride around alongside her brother in a friendly, competitive race.

If you're looking for a great gift for your child, grandchild, or friend I highly suggest checing out PlaSmart's line of great toys. Then not only have something for any child, some of their toys also are great for adult play as well (although there is a weight limit to check first!).
