This cube entertains both the baby and the 2 year old at the same time and they don't have to fight over toys because there is plenty of space for both to play at the same time. We practice naming colors and counting and sharing all while being entertained!

Comments about One Step Ahead Mini Play Cube:

We have a 9 month old daughter and this was her first Christmas. When she opened this gift, she did not want to play with anything else. She plays with it all of the time and she has already learned how to maneuver the beads all around which is an awesome fine motor skill aid. We have been very pleased with it and know that as she gets older, she will continue to learn from the cube.

I wanted this for my son, but also for my office, where the patients and their children can play without loose parts. I have been surprised at how the adults find themselves interacting with the children with this "activity center". A beautiful product.

Good product - worth the sale price

By Lolly's Mommy

from Milwaukee, WI on 12/29/2008

Gift:

Pros:

Durable, Educational, Engaging, Interactive

Cons:

Heavy

Best Uses:

Special needs, Young Children

Describe Yourself:

Parent Of Two Or More Children, Special Needs Mom, Working Parent

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about One Step Ahead Mini Play Cube:

This toy is very good and durable with lots of activities for my special needs daughter to engage in. It is very heavy so she is unable to move it but that is good as we wouldn't want it to fall on her. She is 20 months but mentally at a 10 month stage and I found that she played with it for just a bit and was bored so it still might be too advanced for her. However, I think it will be a great toy to keep around forever. I happen to get this toy for 1/2 price and it is worth the[$] I paid.

My 11 month old enjoys playing with this cube. It keeps her entertained for several minutes at a time, which should improve as she gets older and is able to better understand the different activities on each side.

Fun for my toddler

By Josh's mama

from Philadelphia, PA on 12/27/2008

Gift:

Pros:

Educational, Engaging, Interactive

Cons:

Heavy

Best Uses:

Entertainment, Indoor

Describe Yourself:

First Time Parent

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about One Step Ahead Mini Play Cube:

This activity cube is great for older toddlers and my son loves playing with it. The only issue I have is that when it arrived we put it together and found that some of the screws on the side panels were missing or loose and when we attempted to tighten them they were stripped. Luckily my husband was able to find some other screws in his tool box and fix it up, but considering the regular selling price I think the construction could have been better. I am happy I got this toy through a 50% off promotion or else I would have been upset with the quality. But, I will say my son loves it and is really challenged by it, especially the side with the magnetic pen.
