Assembling Cubles

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01024

We were given several new Cubles DIY Papercrafting toys for free to play with and review. Opinions are my own.

I keep looking for new and exciting ways to interact with Andy outside of a video, tv show or game. I know that he has a creative mind and when I saw that Cubles had Andy’s favorite character from books that he reads I asked that we review this project/toy. Andy loves Dog Man books and Cubles has a Dog Man figure plus Max Meow, a book series that Andy is now interested in reading. Cubles are boxy characters that you assemble by folding paper and then connecting the pieces sort of like a puzzle. I helped Andy through a few steps of the first figure but he was ready to go immediately after the second piece. He assembled Max Meow and Dog Man in the time it took me to build the Dragon Cubles figure.

Here is a full description of Cubles and what they are.

Cubles are a unique mashup between origami, puzzle, toy, and craft, that promotes STEM principles. So kids are learning while creating playable and collectible characters. The best part is they have their own series of original IP characters as well as super cool licensed brands such as G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Dogman, KiSS and more! To top it off, CUBLES are 100% recyclable, are a Restoration Partner with One Tree Planted, and are made-in-the-USA!

Not only is the product a great hands-on learning experience that opens the mind to dimensional play, but parents will also love that no glue or scissors are required. Kids of all ages will willingly want to be away from their screens to turn Cubles into something that starts flat and becomes a 3D creative experience which leads to a strong “Hey, I did that!” factor.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
