The Shashibo magnetic puzzle box is ever-evolving into new forms as you flip and fold it into a variety of shapes. Combine two boxes to make even bigger shapes. Kids and adults alike will want to get their hands on the twisting and turning fun and explore the science of magnets and structure.
Shashibo Makers Andreas Hoenigschmid and Kevin Daniels bonded over their shared love for fire performing. Andreas, a mathematician and artist, introduced Kevin to a puzzle he created and spent years perfecting. Kevin, of course, was drawn to it as well.
The magnetic puzzle box opens up a world of discovery and play for children and adults. Transforming the box into new shapes (fun fact: Shashibo stands for “shape shifting box”) provides endless exploration and fun. Flip, fold, twist, and turn—and keep endlessly changing what’s in your hands. Kids can connect and combine multiple boxes to create even more shapes and unique patterns while also getting hands-on experience with STEM principles.
