Have you ever seen a fidget toy as beautiful as this? The Cloud Flexagons from Tranquil Learning Collective are soft, lovable, and incredibly calming. These heartwarming amigurumi creations have completely captured my heart!

Why I love ❤️ it: 

(1) A Crocheted Amigurumi - Flexed & Folded

This toy is inspired by the origami hexaflexagon, a brilliant three-dimensional creation that can be turned in multiple directions to reveal distinct faces. Its pyramid-like edges can be flexed and folded, producing an array of mesmerizing patterns that are both intriguing and satisfying. The crochet texture adds an extra layer of sensory pleasure, making it irresistible to touch and flip over and over. The design offers soothing tactile stimulation, engaging both hands and mind in a calming, almost addictive way. It’s the perfect gift for restless hands, providing a sensory experience that’s both relaxing and stimulating. That’s the magic of a crocheted amigurumi!

(2) Incredibly Plush & Squishy

This is the softest crocheted yarn toy I’ve ever touched. It’s incredibly plush and squishy, like a cloud in your hands. The gentle texture helps nurture focus and concentration, making it the perfect tactile experience.

(3) Silent Fidget Toy

I love that this fidget toy is completely silent—not a sound when flipping or moving it. Its quiet, unassuming nature makes it all the more charming, almost like a sweet scrunchie or a soft decorative accessory you can wear around your wrist, taking it with you wherever you go. Tranquil Learning Collective offers a variety of designs and color schemes, but I personally think I got one of the prettiest—its soft pastel hues are not only captivating but also incredibly soothing. These squishable 3D pieces double as beautiful decorations while offering a comforting tactile experience. This playful crochet flexagon makes a wonderful gift for children, combining interactivity, color, and sensory fun. It’s also perfect for adults seeking a discreet, calming fidget tool during work.

(4) Eco-Friendly & Non-Plastic

This eco-friendly, non-plastic fidget toy is both cute and sustainable, making it a kind choice for the environment. Made from soft and thick yarn, it’s completely safe to use by kids and adults.

Wooden Fantasy Puzzle - Treasure Chest, By Let’s Play Games - REVIEW

Nature/ Type:              Wooden puzzle 

Rating:                        ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:     14 year-old ++ 

Who would love this:  Older kids/ adults who love a puzzle challenge! 

Every time I receive a wooden puzzle from Let's Play Games , I know I’m in for a spellbinding experience - where time seems to pause and the day instantly feels brighter. And once again, they’ve delivered. This time, it’s the Wooden Fantasy Puzzle - Treasure Chest.

Why I ❤️ this puzzle: 

(1) 200 Uniquely Shaped Puzzle Pieces

The Treasure Chest packs 200 uniquely shaped pieces - none of those neat, predictable borders you find in a traditional puzzle. Instead, it bursts with the wild, jagged silhouette of a treacherous chest: a gaping mouth lined with razor-sharp fangs, a grotesquely long tongue, and writhing tentacles guarding a hoard of gold like a dragon from some enchanted realm. It’s a scene straight out of a high-stakes fantasy - approach if you dare! I’d wager this is the most dramatic puzzle in the LPG collection. The pieces themselves are unapologetically tricky: swirls, sharp lines, and shapes so irregular - and so deceptively alike - that matching them is a test of both wit and patience. Sorting colors alone is an adventure: a rich clash of funky purples, deep reds, glints of gold coin yellow that could belong anywhere, and ghostly greys for those menacing fangs. Add in the stony granite floor - and you’ve got a puzzle that hooks you from first touch to the final fit.

(2) Discover Delightful Surprises Within

These are miniature works of art, each carved into wild shapes that twist and curl like ancient symbols. This puzzle tests your spatial skills and intuition with every move, but the real magic lies in its hidden treasures. Nestled within the irregular shapes are delightful surprises: a golden skeletal skull, a mischievous mini monster chest, a palm, an octopus, a wizard, a rainbow axe, a spider, and more. It’s a treasure hunt, where every piece feels like unlocking a secret.

(3) Laser-Cut From High Quality Wood

As with every wooden puzzle we’ve experienced from LPG, the Treasure Chest is a testament to craftsmanship. Each piece is precision laser-cut from high-quality wood. The colors are rich and bold, the fit is satisfyingly smooth, and the completed artwork is nothing short of mesmerizing. Presented in a beautifully crafted wooden box, it’s as perfect for display as it is for storage.
