Cubles – A Fun, Beneficial Time For Your Kids
What Are Cubles?
Cubles are paper craft activities that are sort of like a mix between a puzzle and origami. They’re paper crafts that come as a set of pieces that you fold and put together in a way that creates a fun animal or figure. They have many different options for different kids’ interests, and super simple instructions.
Your kid won’t need scissors or glue, so you can let them do this on their own without worry if they’re old enough. The guidelines Cubles provided is that these are not recommended for children under 3 years old, and from 3 years to 8 years will definitely or most likely want or need your help to make them. But it’s also dependent on your child’s level of development and independence.
How Are They Fun?
Well, your child can have fun making their figurine come to life in the process of putting it together. But there’s even more fun to be had after they’re together. Cubles have separate arms and legs, and they can move. They also can come with accessories that can be put in their hands.
Kids can use these similar to action figures or dolls to play with. There are so many ways kids can find ways to play with and have fun with their Cubles after they’re finished, especially when they have more than one to play with or a friend or sibling to use them with.
What Makes Cubles Unique?
There are plenty of aspects to this specific paper craft that are different than typical kid paper toys. Cubles are much more durable, they can withstand more play time from little ones before falling apart. Cubles as a brand also works hard to be environmentally friendly.
The paper used for these crafts is recyclable, and Cubles donates to an organization that plants more trees to make up for the trees used for the craft. There are also so many more options than in most similar ideas, giving much more freedom to your children’s imaginations and likes. And finally, you can purchase sets of Cubles which makes an excellent choice for families with multiple children or for more playtime out of them.
