Old photo to show just how many puzzle erasers I have, and I’m pretty sure that isn’t all of them because I think I bought another pack or two since this photo was taken, asdfjkl;.

I still need MORE.

(Also featuring a Snorlax plushie I made for a friend.)

[image description: a set of six pizza slice erasers, sitting on a red watermelon slice pillow. The pizza slices are cut into triangles with a curved out edge, together forming a circle, and have a tan brown crust and base, a light yellow cheese layer fitting into grooves in the crust, two round green pieces with indented dots that fit into the cheese layer, and a red grooved wing-shaped piece. The effect mimics chopped-up vegetables and meat atop a pizza. The erasers sit in a clear plastic shell in a cardboard box with a green/maroon/white striped trim at the top and bottom. Text at the bottom in maroon-outlined cream type reads “pizza slice erasers”.]

Pizza Puzzle Erasers - K-Mart, $1 AUD.

There’s no longer an online listing for these. I found them at my local store (and also at the Footscray store) on half price clearance sale from $2 AUD each.

I’ll admit that I don’t find the “packs of exactly the same puzzle eraser” as good for stimming, as there’s less bits I can swap around. However, these are extremely cheap and there’s six erasers (with five pieces each) to pull apart!

I do like the crust layer, as it has raised bumps, an indented base and a notched edge, good for stroking--there’s a bit of texture, more than many puzzle erasers. The cheese layer also has small indentations, although they’re less prominent. Only the sushi set and some of the fancier cake erasers I have really beats these for texture.

For a simple, very affordable stealth toy that tucks nicely into one’s hand or lap, I really don’t mind having these.

[image description: six puzzle erasers arranged in two rows of three, shaped like doughnuts with icing on the top. Each eraser has two pieces that peg together--the doughnut cake and the icing on top.  From left to right, top to bottom: chocolate doughnut with aqua icing and white painted swirls on the icing; yellow doughnut with pink icing painted with white and blue sprinkles; pink doughnut with raised, yellow piping-style icing; pink doughnut with white icing painted with red, blue and yellow dot-style sprinkles; caramel doughnut with raised, purple piping-style icing; and a caramel doughnut with chocolate icing painted with white swirls. The erasers sit in a rectangular aqua box with a clear plastic window on the front, displaying the erasers; text on the top of the box reads “itsi bitsi eraser donuts 6 pack” in black and white handdrawn type. The box sits on a red watermelon slice pillow.]

Doughnut Puzzle Erasers - The Reject Shop, $3 AUD.

No online listing is available for this item.

This is another of The Reject Shop’s new selection of puzzle erasers. You get more erasers than in the previously-reviewed set of icy pole erasers, but in total these have fewer pieces.

I do like that I can swap the icing pieces around--there’s five different colour combinations to be made with each icing piece. If you want a busy-hands stim that has a swapping or colour matching component, this might be useful in a school or office environment. I have a lot of puzzle erasers now--I collect the food ones and have a few jars just full of erasers--so I can pull ten different doughnuts apart and really swap pieces around. As a set on its own, though, it’s not quite as useful.

The two piped icing pieces have a lot of crease-style texture, and the doughnut cake bases are covered in fine dimples, so they’re quite nice for running fingers over. I really do recommend the doughnuts with the piped icing for a quiet texture stim!
