Calvins Puzzle Frosty Fir 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Frosty Fir 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Frosty Fir 2x2 M is a magnetic 2x2 cube shaped like a Christmas tree. The green tree, decorated with baubles, stars and a snowflake, sits on a brown trunk, so you can stand it up once it's solved.

Design

The decorations are sculpted into the plastic rather than stuck on, so the tree looks like a small Christmas figurine. The glossy finish makes the colours stand out. On a desk or shelf it looks like a decoration, and once you pick it up it turns into a puzzle. It's the tallest and heaviest figurine in the series.

How to solve it

Underneath the figurine is a 2x2 cube with magnets, so you solve it just like a regular 2x2 cube. When scrambled, the figurine breaks up into shifted pieces, and your goal is to restore its shape and pattern. The pieces have unusual shapes, so avoid forcing the turns or twisting the corners, as this could damage them. A new puzzle may feel quite stiff at first.

Who is it for?

This is one of five figurines in the Calvin's Puzzle Christmas series, made together with DianSheng. The full series includes Saint Nicholas, Snowman, Frosty Fir, Iglootopia and Justin Case Gift Box. It makes a great Christmas decoration and a gift idea for under the tree or a St. Nicholas Day present. It will delight cube fans, but also anyone who's simply looking for a pretty, unusual little gift. The figurine comes in a window box, so it's ready to give straight away.
