First of all thanks for the win on creating my own word. There's nothing muffafluggan about that!

Invent a new toy

This is not an easy one since the market is already so huge.

I like doing jigsaw puzzles & have completed at least 500 of them in various sizes in the past 7 or so years. I don't do them as much anymore but have tons of them waiting to be completed.

On to the toy which I would call 'The Puzzler'.
The Puzzler would teach one how to put a puzzle together. It really takes a special kind of person to do puzzles as I do and I always get the question of how to do a puzzle.

The Puzzler would be a box, rather sizeable that contains about ten different puzzles inside. the top of the box would look like a small table when opened out, this would be the surface to hold the puzzle pieces as you work the puzzle. It also would be magnetic as well as the pieces. The box itself, does not open.

You choose the puzzle you desire to work and the pieces to that puzzle comes out a slot in the back ledge of the table. You then work the puzzle. There would be an instruction manual that explains one of the best ways to put a puzzle together. This is a simple process of working the edges of the puzzle first to form a frame for the rest of the puzzle. And of course there would be lots of tips included.

This would come in puzzles that are categorized by skill levels and number of pieces. A box that contains higher levels and skills would contain fewer puzzles as these puzzles would have a larger number of pieces. Say a box with 2 puzzles that each have 2500 pieces and of course the box would be shorter and wider to accommodate the larger working space that is needed.

I'm not good with graphics but this is similar to what I'm thinking.

I think this about covers the description for 'The Puzzler'.
