Description:

Hands-on problem solving is the theme of this popular traveling exhibition. Five brightly colored tables feature a variety of mind benders guaranteed to challenge even the most experienced problem solver. BRAIN TEASERS is a collection of 20 different puzzles that will engage families and children as they test their problem solving skills. There are four puzzles per table, encouraging teamwork and interaction among visitors. The answers may seem obvious to some yet mysteriously elusive to others. Each puzzle stimulates active participation, often requiring a new way of thinking to solve it. BRAIN TEASERS’ activities include tying and untying knots, solving intriguing number games, extricating yourself from tangled handcuffs, assembling tangram puzzles, and much, much more! Visitors to this exhibit have been known to return time and time again in hopes of solving all 20 of these fun and educational puzzles.
