The Three Kingdoms is the most frustratingly wonderful, seemingly-impossible, love-it-hate-it-love-it, simple-but-difficult puzzle I have ever attempted.

It’s been 6 months since I bought this puzzle and I still haven’t solved it.

It’s by far the best $12 I’ve ever spent. I’ve definitely got my money’s worth, that's for sure!

Multispin is a fun maths game, designed specifically to help students practice their multiplication skills.

Multispin has been designed by Dr Paul Swan, who is fantastic at thoroughly teaching maths concepts by including as many games and hands on activities as possible. (And he’s from right here in Western Australia!)

Quadrillion is a challenging one player puzzle game for all ages - suitable for kids, through to the elderly - with big, sturdy puzzle pieces that are easy and fun to handle.

It’s fun from the very beginning - even the setup is a puzzle!

A few years ago, a fellow homeschool Mum hosted a workshop, where she taught other homeschool parents how to teach their kids maths in such a way that kids actually felt inspired by the subject rather than dreading it.

For me, this was my lightbulb moment...

Mums often spend so much time researching the perfect gift for those they love. They constantly research the perfect educational games and puzzles for their kids.

So much thought goes into everything they do.

So how do you even begin to say thank you, when they do so much?

Well, don’t forget that Mums likes puzzles, games, books, and challenges too! She’d likely love a fun and unique gift!

We were so impressed by our experience with ColorVelvet last year, that we negotiated a large direct order from the family business in Italy! 

After some COVID-related, and language-related, and perhaps, Italy-related, delays, we've been anticipating our shipment for some months.... and last week it arrived.  And, oh my...

RPM Powerballs are back in stock!  If you are wondering what to buy that tricky person for Christmas, well, here's something unique that is not only genuinely beneficial, but also mind-bogglingly cool.

Powerballs are handheld gyroscopes that give your wrist and arm a pleasant workout.  There is no battery, and no motor - everything that the Powerball does, is powered by you - and it feels amazing!

The best way to understand Powerballs, is to come in and try one!

We finally have Woki and Mazzi Xtreme Bots back in stock!  

These are well designed robots for kids, with true coding potential, perfect for 5- and 8-year olds respectively!

I'm delighted to announce that the Powerball® is coming to Brain Spice! 

Powerballs are essentially handheld gyroscopes, powered by... you!  Their clever design means that you can control their spin speed with just gentle hand movements.  And the faster they spin, the more they push back, thanks to the wiles of physics.  They feel strangely alive in your hand!  Many models also light up spectacularly - all with your own energy.  No batteries required.
