In the thrilling genesis of our journey, I, Elize, delved into the dynamic world of door-to-door sales during my twenties, promoting an ingenious program named "Systems for Education." Picture this: a captivating blend of games and books meticulously crafted to harness a child's insatiable curiosity, instilling essential life skills like reading, math, and general knowledge from a tender age. Armed with an arsenal of brain development knowledge, I eagerly awaited the day I could mold my own infant into a prodigious little genius!
Driven by the results of research which proves that by age 4, a child has developed half of their adult brain potential, I embarked on a mission to shape her future. I adorned my child's wall with a colossal, friendly clown face, turning our daily reading sessions into interactive experiences. Flashcards strategically placed on the clown's features became a ritual, fostering the association of written words with corresponding objects. This was the birth of the "Clownface" puzzle, a breakthrough moment that changed the game.
Encouraging my daughter's puzzle-solving prowess, by the age of 2, she effortlessly conquered a 200-piece puzzle. Intrigued by the newly discovered synergy of puzzles and reading, the concept of Clownface materialized—a puzzle of the clown's face on top of words, seamlessly intertwining learning and play.
The results were astounding; she entered school as a proficient reader, astonishing teachers and peers alike. The spark of confidence ignited through the admiration of peers and teachers still continues to blaze through her adult life.
As the floodgates of creativity opened, new applications of the concept surged, never ceasing. Recognizing the endless potential, Lize and I, fueled by passion, decided to share these transformative puzzles with the world. Our partnership aims to bring this innovative learning tool to teachers and children globally, particularly in third-world countries, where its impact can be profound.
This journey is not just our history; it's a living, evolving tapestry. We invite you to join us, share your thoughts, and become a part of our mailing list. Let's connect, explore, and spread the joy of learning together.
With love and excitement, Elize and Lize

Who We Are:
At Little Genius Puzzles, our mission is to inspire and nurture the natural curiosity of children. We believe that play is a powerful tool for learning, and our puzzles are designed to make the learning process enjoyable and effective. From enhancing problem-solving skills to boosting creativity and cognitive development, our puzzles cater to children aged 3-12, offering a wide range of challenges suited to various developmental stages.
The Power of Curiosity:
We understand the thrust and strength of a child's learning lies in their voracious curiosity, especially in toddlerhood. Their incessant questioning of "why" may sometimes irritate the adults in their lives, but it's crucial for adults to realize that dismissing or getting irritated by these questions can compromise the child's curiosity and love of learning. When a child learns that curiosity is met with irritation or reluctance to answer, they may start to feel that being curious is naughty rather than a natural and essential part of learning and exploration.
The Impact on Schoolwork:
It's important to note that damaged curiosity inevitably leads to a struggle with schoolwork. A child who has been discouraged from asking questions or exploring their interests freely may find it challenging to engage in learning activities, leading to difficulties in understanding concepts, lack of motivation, and reduced academic performance.
