The Activity Cube is a clever, different, and multifunctional toy, a kind of entertainment center that every child has to own. It is suitable for little and older kids and will amuse them well. The six sides of the cube offer various developmental, learning, and activity elements:
A colorful fish swims in the sea over various seaweeds and corals. The crab’s claws are movable and its eyes can be hidden. The sails of the boat are designed as a puzzle, and the portholes can be opened and closed. The child develops fine motor skills by passing the little fish under the arms of the smiling octopus. He/she can spin the starfish, poke a finger into the pearl, trace the spiral of the nautilus shell, pull the jellyfish tentacles. And on the last side of the cube, on the seabed under the waves, hides a turtle, a cute amigurumi toy. No buttons are used to make the cube safe even for the youngest children.
If it sounds all new, you can read about the Montessori Method.
The finished cube has а side’s length of 14 cm (5.5 in).
