But pentominoes are also a great educational and developmental tool for people of all ages and learning abilities.

The puzzle books are also currently featured in the Optometric Extension Program Foundation catalog. Pentomino puzzles are powerful in developing spatial reasoning, or the ability to manipulate objects in space and time using visual imagery. They are also highly useful in improving memory skills.
