Jacob's Ladder
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

Pretty Puzzle
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
From the Mindbender series, these lightly varnished wooden critter puzzles are tough to figure out, but they make very attractive tchotchkes when finished. You pick from the 10-piece pig (4-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 2-3/4") or the 9-piece foxy-looking dog (6-1/2" x 4-3/4" x 1-3/8"). If you're puzzle-impaired, each comes with an answer key, but we think you can do without it, if you're persistent enough. For ages 8 and up.

The Advanced Brainstring
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The Advanced Brainstring
We don't have the basic Brainstring® (our brain is too advanced) but this version is like Rubik's Cube® crossed with a naval mine. A 14-sided clear-plastic shape (that's a tetrakaidecahedron, kids) has (8) faces connected to each other by three colored elastic cords with matching pegs on the ends, for a total of (4) sets of (3) cords, with slots to move them. The object is to get all of one color, or (1) of each color, on the faces without throwing it on the floor and smashing it and swearing and stuff.

Tough Models
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A construction-grade Cindy Crawford? You wish. No, just difficult (and definitely not for toddlers) models/puzzles. But if you've got a building-set whiz-bang in the back seat, these 50-piece, 3-D puzzles are demanding and rewarding to assemble, plus they come in ultra-thin packages for traveling. The highly detailed, colorful pieces punch out of a couple of 6" x 4-1/2" credit-card-weight plastic sheets but assemble to sizes ranging from 4-3/4" x 3-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 4-1/2". We'll pick (2) different ones from a selection of heavy construction vehicles and nasty robo-animals (think "Rhinotank" and "Wolfborg").

3-D Sudokube
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Newspaper Sudoku not tough enough for you? You show-off. Try solving the Sudokube®, the evil spawn of a rogue Rubik's Cube® and a wayward Sudoku maiden. You twist away at the 2" x 2" black-and-white plastic cube, until each of the (6) sides displays digits 1 through 9. Extra credit if they're all in the right order with the numbers facing the same way. Only took us 12 minutes, but we used a hacksaw and some epoxy. Packaging says it's "For Ages Over 5." Right.
