The flexagon was discovered in 1939 by a British mathematics student called Arthur Stone. Whilst idly folding a strip of paper, he found he had created a flat, hexagonal structure which could be turned inside out to reveal a new face from the interior. Being a brilliant mathematician, he didn't stop there and had soon discovered an entire family of structures with similar properties, which he called flexagons.

Formed from 36 wooden pieces and a strip of ribbon, Crafty Coaster is an improved design of flexagon which can form 6 different patterns. The addition of magnetic fasteners turns it into a simple puzzle.

With full instructions included, it is easy for a 5 year old to manage, yet fascinating enough to charm any adult. You can even use it as a drink mat for hot or cold drinks.

Crafty Coaster is fun for fidgets. Serious puzzlers and mathematicians might like to check out Kaleidoscope, which is a higher order of flexagon.
