Especially for Kids: Activity Cubes

Jan. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Activity cubes, designed for babies, toddlers and preschool children are a multi-functional toy that allow children to develop a variety of mental and physical skills. The activity cubes are often five in one, which not only gives the child multiple activities to keep them entertained, but can also provide for two or more children if needed. This is perfect for parents who have more than one child or play groups and day care centers where there are lots of children to be supervised at the same time.
It is no doubt that the best way for young children to learn is through play. Activity cubes has been designed for this very reason and each game or activity on the cube is known to develop certain skills. Some of the most common activities to be found on the cubes are:
•   Xylophone
•   Blackboard/whiteboard
•   Maze with beads
•   Adjustable clock
•   Abacus
•   Shape sorter
The fact that activity cubes can accommodate more than one child gives other children a chance to develop their social skills when using it with peers and adults. As well as that, these activities promote improved hand-eye co-ordination, spatial awareness, encourage problem solving and fine motor skills which will build a solid foundation for a child’s future development.
Although you can find activity cubes made of plastic, if you take some time to look you will see that the majority are made from wood as the companies know this appeals more the consumer. All the colors used are bright and contain the primary and colors of the rainbow to not only make the activity cube eye catching to get the child used these colors. The wood is kiln dried, smoothed, and painted with non-toxic paint to ensure a safe and long lasting product. The wooden structure of the cube is strong and will be able to support children holding and leaning on it when moving around the activities, whilst improving their physical movements.
