Grand Ferris Wheel 3D Wooden Puzzle

Ferris Wheel Puzzle That Actually Turns

This ferris wheel 3D wooden puzzle builds a working fairground wheel from 120 laser cut pieces. The rim spins on its axle once assembled, so the finished mini ferris wheel is a moving model rather than a fixed ornament, and no glue or tools are needed to put it together.

A Beginner Wooden Model Kit

• Rated beginner: the lowest difficulty step in the range, a sensible first wooden puzzle before larger mechanical kits
• Press fit assembly: parts push out of the sheets and lock together by tension, so there is nothing to glue or clamp
• Turning wheel: the gondolas hang from the rim and swing as the wheel rotates by hand
• One evening build: 1 to 2 hours from opening the box to standing the finished model up

Fairground Model for Desk and Shelf Decor

At 6.42 inches tall the wooden ferris wheel takes up about the footprint of a coffee mug, which suits a desk corner, a study shelf or a windowsill. The bare wood finish sits well next to books and plants, and it can be painted or stained if a carnival colour scheme is wanted.

Because the build is short and forgiving, it works as a shared project with a child aged 8 and up, and as a low pressure craft evening for an adult. It is a familiar birthday and Christmas gift for people who like amusement park models, wooden mechanical kits and hands on hobbies away from a screen.

Note: each model is cut from natural wood, so grain and colour vary slightly between kits.
