Hello,
What is your opinion of the Drives Ya Crazy on the Meffert's page? I think it is a fairly simple puzzle but one of my 8 year old cousins wants a puzzle but im trying to avoid sliding and most of the twistys are still very hard for him

Thanks,
Chris Yi

That puzzle is just a pile of loose blocks that have to be arranged by color.

If you want to get a twisty puzzle (like Rubiks) for their age range, I would suggest either a Morph character puzzle (2x2x1 puzzle head) or the newly released Rubik's Jr. (two-color 2x2x2 cube).

Doug.

You might also find some advice here (I know it's titled for 4 year olds, but let's get realistic):
