Calvins Puzzle Snowman 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Snowman 2x2 M

Calvins Puzzle Snowman 2x2 M is a magnetic 2x2 cube shaped like a little snowman. He has a red top hat, a red scarf, an orange carrot nose, rosy cheeks and a blue coat with green buttons.

Design

The character's details are sculpted into the plastic rather than stuck on, so the snowman looks like a small Christmas figurine. The glossy finish makes the colours stand out. On a shelf or under the Christmas tree it looks like a decoration, and once you pick it up, it turns into a puzzle.

How to solve it

Inside the figure there's a 2x2 cube with magnets, so you solve it just like a regular 2x2 cube. When scrambled, the figure breaks up into shifted pieces, and your goal is to restore its shape and pattern. The pieces have unusual shapes, so don't use force when turning and don't twist the corners out, as you could damage them. A new puzzle may feel quite stiff at first.

Who is it for?

It's one of five figures in the Calvin's Puzzle Christmas series, made together with DianSheng. The whole 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 for a St. Nicholas Day treat. It will delight someone who loves cubes, but also anyone simply looking for a pretty, unusual little gift. The figure comes in a window box, so it's ready to give straight away.
