Imagine that you are a working mom. Your day is hectic. You wake up early, prepare breakfast for the family, send kids off to school, prepare yourself for work, go to work, attend meetings, make important decisions, and then come home and whip up lunch for everyone. Kids are jumping everywhere, and your husband, bless his soul, is trying to help but doesn’t know how.

You somehow make it to the end of the day, you tuck the kids in, read them a bedtime story, and even though you are tired as a dog, you feel like you have a few hours for yourself before you have to go to sleep. What can you do?

We propose that you embark on a journey of building a 3D metal puzzle. Let’s dive into the benefits of this decision.

The Benefits of 3D Metal Puzzles

Working on any kind of puzzle is an excellent way to boost your brain power. When was the last time you exercised your brain? Most adults find a routine and stick to it because it’s the only way they can achieve their daily goals. 

But if you stick to your routine for too long, you will realize that it is harder to come up with new ideas. That’s because your brain was working on autopilot for so long. For this and many other reasons, it is imperative to give your brain something new to think about from time to time.

3D metal mechanical puzzles are an excellent solution to that conundrum. Let’s explore the main benefits.

• While you are working on the puzzle, you will also improve your problem-solving skills.
• Working with small components will help improve your hand-eye coordination and overall dexterity.
• Working with so many small parts will undoubtedly improve your focus.
• During the build, you will need to keep track of many different parts, which helps improve your memory.
• You will notice your brain opening, and you will realize that finding new ideas isn’t so difficult anymore.

Now that you know the benefits, it’s time to talk about a few specific 3D metal puzzles you can find right here at Mostarle. In this article, we will focus on insect-themed metal puzzles because we believe that these majestic creatures represent fearlessness, beauty, and change. 

Let’s jump in.

Dragonfly

This is a new product on our roster. If you are reading this before January 10th, 2025, then this one is not yet available, but you can preorder it. If you are reading this well into 2025, you can simply add it to your cart and wait for the delivery.

The majestic dragonfly is known for being one of the best fliers among all flying animals and insects in the world. It’s no wonder that the visual designers of the movie Dune used the anatomy of the dragonfly to create those amazing flying machines called Ornithopters. On top of that, even though they look very beautiful, these insects are fierce predators.

Our Dragonfly 3D metal puzzle encompasses all these features and adds a dose of intrigue to the mix. With a stable metal stand and colorful wings, this puzzle will be the focal point of your bookshelf, desk, or wherever you want to put it.

Emerald Mantis

The Emerald Mantis puzzle is one of our top sellers and for a good reason. This 3D metal puzzle contains a whopping 352 pieces, and it will take you anywhere between five and eight hours to complete, depending on how comfortable you are with a screwdriver.

The Emerald Mantis is inspired by the praying mantis, one of the insect kingdom's most ambitious predators. Did you know that scientists have seen a praying mantis taking on a much larger foe, like a hummingbird? If that’s not fierce, we don’t know what is. Apart from that, these insects are true masters of disguise, agile as jaguars.

When you complete the assembly of our Emerald Mantis 3D puzzle, you will see how lifelike it looks. The praying mantis is famous for being able to turn its head, and this puzzle will certainly turn heads when guests come to your home.

Crystal Lamp Jumping Spider

Our Crystal Lamp Jumping Spider 3D metal puzzle has two functions. First, it will work as a centerpiece wherever you put it. Second, as the name suggests, it is also a crystal lamp, which adds a certain dose of mysticism to the equation. 

In nature, jumping spiders are everywhere. It can be hard to find them near the poles, where it’s very cold, but you are sure to find them everywhere else in the world. Another amazing fact is that they can jump very far, over 50 times their length. Imagine a 6-foot human jumping 300 feet. It’s like a superpower.

This puzzle has 220 pieces, and it will take you two or three hours to assemble it. When you are done, you can put it on your desk, rotate the crystal lamp ball clockwise to turn the lamp on and enjoy your favorite book about spiders.
