Hold three pieces at the juncture in which all cross. Each Northstar Puzzle can be assembled into several different shapes. Depending on the shape chosen, weave the remaining pieces across and behind the held pieces, creating pressure which holds the toy together. When fully assembled, this action oriented puzzle can be thrown as a Frisbee or be used to play catch with a friend. It comes apart easily upon impact with persons or objects. The Northstar Puzzle can be easily assembled and enjoyed by children of all ages. Because parents often have difficulty putting it together, it also helps build a child's self-esteem.
