The Activity cube – this is a clever, different, and multifunctional toy, a kind of entertainment center that every kid has to own and will amuse them well. The six sides of the cube offer various developmental and learning elements.
Your child will get familiar with the main shapes - circle, square, triangle, and rectangle while playing. He/she will learn to do count. On the third side, the kid can practice lacing, tying, and zipping. An entire side of the cube offers a buttoning activity and recognition of different colors. The real fun on the other side - the whole alphabet is gathered. The kid can learn to recognize the letters and later on to form simple words. And what’s on the sixth side of the cube? … A wise owl in a nest – a cute toy and a good buddy for your child.
If it sounds all new, you can read about the Montessori Method.
The finished cube has a side’s length of 12 cm (4.7 in).
