Cubes puzzles

Cubes puzzles

— classic puzzle cubes are a set of cubes, on the sides of which parts of the picture are applied. Thus, by putting such cubes together in the right way, you can create the whole picture. 6 different pictures can be usually created from one set (the cube has 6 faces, and each can have its own picture — thus, the picture can be different depending on which side of the cubes are up).

The number of cubes themselves in the set may be different; the most popular option is 9 (picture 3x3), but other sets are also on the market — from 4 to 25 cubes (2x2 and 5x5, respectively).

Puzzle cubes develop observational skills, as well as logical and imaginative thinking.

Sorters are also sometimes included in this category, but a sorter is still a specific type of toy that has very little to do with puzzles. See the relevant paragraph for more details.
