Why Kids and Parents Love It

Kids love it because:

• Five activity sides give them something new to explore.

• Colorful forest animals make sorting, sliding and matching more engaging.

• Balls roll, beads move and parts spin in response to their actions.

• Different activities let toddlers choose how they want to play.

Parents love it because:

• Multiple activities are combined in one play center.

• It supports fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and early problem-solving.

• Its screen-free activities require no batteries.

• The compact 13.8-inch-square footprint offers plenty of play without taking over the room.

• Compatible replacement parts are available for commonly lost accessories.

Five Sides of Hands-On Play

Every side offers a different way to explore. Toddlers can guide beads along the wire maze, match animal-faced blocks with the shape sorter, tap balls through the openings, spin the turnplate and move colorful animals along their paths.

These varied activities encourage children to grasp, slide, spin, sort, match and tap instead of repeating the same movement on every side.

Fine Motor and Problem-Solving Play

Moving beads, holding the wooden hammer and placing blocks into matching openings help children practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Shape matching and moving pieces through different paths also introduce early logical thinking, cause and effect, spatial awareness and problem-solving through hands-on play.

Multiple Activities in One Toy

The five-sided design gives toddlers several ways to play without switching between multiple single-purpose toys. Children can begin with simple sliding, spinning and bead activities before exploring shape sorting, ball pounding and more challenging movement paths.

It is especially suitable for toddlers who enjoy variety and may quickly lose interest in toys with only one activity.

FSC-Certified Wood

The Country Critters Play Cube is made with FSC-certified Baltic birch and maple wood and finished with water-based paint. Its colorful forest-animal design and sturdy wooden construction make it an engaging addition to a nursery or playroom.

What’s Included

The 10-piece set includes:

• 1 five-sided activity cube

• 3 wooden balls

• 5 animal-faced wooden shape blocks

• 1 wooden hammer

The wire bead maze, turnplate, animal tracking activities and other play elements are built into the cube.
