Kanoodle is a collection of fun, logical thinking

puzzles. It’s great for promoting children’s
spatial reasoning skills and developing their
self-confidence with problem solving.
For adults, these puzzles help maintain

lifetime cognitive function. Exercising the
brain is great for all ages! 101 puzzles are
included, which makes Kanoodle perfect
for everyone from puzzle-loving children
to puzzle-master adults. The small, portable
case makes it easy to carry with you wherever
you go.
The Puzzles
There are 6 levels of 2-D (rectangle) puzzles and
3 levels of 3-D (pyramid) puzzles, as well as some
“Kanoodle quizzes” for both types of puzzles.
Levels 1 and 2 of the 2-D puzzles are great for
young children. As the levels increase, the
puzzles become progressively more difficult.
The 3-D puzzles are considerably more difficult
than the 2-D puzzles, so it’s a good idea to begin
with the 2-D puzzles and work your way up
in difficulty.
The Noodles
Every Kanoodle puzzle uses all 12 of the
noodles (puzzle pieces). Each noodle is
unique and designated with a letter.
Each puzzle has a diagram, indicating
where to place some of the noodles.
Your challenge is to use the remaining
noodles to fill in every remaining space
on the board.
2-D Puzzles
Why are some
spaces colored?
In a 2-D puzzle, colored spaces with
letters indicate which noodles you
should use and where to place them
to set up the problem.
Do not move noodles once you have placed Use only the remaining noodles
them into position according to the diagram. to fill in the empty spaces.
