BRAIN-TWISTING FUN FOR KIDS AND ADULTS!
Filled with more than 50 puzzles, this booklet will get you
started on mastering the mysteries of the 3-D Pentomino
Puzzle. As puzzles are solved and new patterns are created,
an intuitive understanding of geometric and spatial
relationships naturally develops. 3-D Pentominoes sharpen
math and thinking skills through hands-on play!
The puzzles provided are presented by level of difficulty.

Many of the puzzles may appear simple at first --- but
don’t be surprised. Learning to see and solve problems
three-dimensionally takes practice. Use the yellow sides
of the pentomino pieces as visual clues. Some puzzles
have more than one solution. Just in case you’re stumped,
solutions showing how the pieces go together are found
on pages 17 to 23.
THE SUPER CHALLENGE
For expert puzzlers, we’ve included a super challenge: build
a 3-D rectangle using all 12 pentomino pieces. Side views of
the completed puzzle are provided as hints.
GOING FURTHER
Create a personalized library of puzzles using 3-D
Pentominoes. Kids like creating animals or things from the
3-D pieces. Younger children will enjoy using the pieces to
fill flat outlines of animals like elephants or ducks. Outlines
can be traded with friends.
Encourage artistic creativity by tracing around a pentomino
piece and creating a pattern or design. Move the block and
trace around it again. Continue the pattern until the entire
page is filled. You can also try to trace around multiple
pentomino pieces. The resulting masterpiece can then be
colored and framed!
Note: You can use the back of this booklet as a guide to fit your pieces
into the box for storage.
