Is this too easy for an almost 5 year old? Hoping for more than 10 minutes of puzzles.

So this is a difficult question to answer for the simple reason of differentiating development levels. But for example, if you have a child that is at the "appropriate" 5 yr development level then I would imagine they would still have fun with this. If they are developmentally "behind" they may struggle with it. I bought this one (Kanoodle Jr.) For my 3 yr old which was born at 25 weeks so he is a bit behind in areas and he isnt quite capable of figuring it out fully. However, I also bought the regular Kanoodle 3D for my 10 yr old which is exceptionally ahead and he can sit forever working on one. All in all, it's a great puzzle to have around and a great convenience starter. The adults that have come into our home have had a great time with the Jr and the 3D!

Is this good for An almost six year old or should I go with the non junior version

The beginning puzzles will be very easy. However, the difficulty increases as you work through the manual. There are plenty of challenges for my five year old. I would start with this edition.

The video makes it seem like all you do is mirror the colors on the sheet you slide underneath. Is it more complex than that?

There are blank squares too. You have to infer which piece goes where and how to orient each one based on the combination of colors and blank squares on the sheet below. Each sheet gets harder the later in the booklet that it is. This set is great for younger children. I’d say 2-7. For children over 8, I’d recommend Kanoodle, which is more complex than Kanoodle Jr. We have both and love them.

Can I get a replacement booklet?

Great for my toddler!

We have loved this product. I bought it for her 2nd birthday and she plays with it everyday. It's made her fine motor skills develop really quickly and she's enjoying all the puzzles. It's a simple enough concept for a 2 year old to start and understand. Highly recommended!

Good for young kids

This is great from travel. Kept my 5 year old busy however most of the puzzles were pretty easy for him and he went through all of them faster than I thought he would. I thought it would keep him busy longer. Bought the one for older kids for next vacation.

La versión más básica de Kanoodle, ideal para los más pequeños.

Compramos la serie de rompecabezas de Kanoodle, mi hijo de 4 años rápidamente superó el Jr. pero le sirvió para entender las reglas del rompecabezas y poder jugar más fácilmente con las versiones más avanzadas. Son excelentes juegos didácticos. Este nivel, Jr. pienso que es apto incluso para un niño de 2 años. Un niño de 4 años rápidamente lo dominará. Mi hijo ahora está ya usando el Kanoodle Pro, resolviendo los rompecabezas 3D (piramidales) y se puede entretener mucho tiempo, lo que creo le ayuda a mejorar su capacidad de concentración, además de los temas de percepción espacial que este tipo de juegos desarrollan.

Great game for my 3yr old and all the family

It is a very creative game, easy to understand and mind challenging with different levels. My 3yr old kid love it, of course he plays the first level of challenge. Also my 7 and 9 yrs old kids play with this. It is very convenient as I can take the game everywhere and avoid having I pad time to keep him busy. Good quality material.
