SHAPE SORTER
As children try to match the 5 different shapes in bright colours, they’ll hone their problem-solving skills through trial and error.
COLOUR CODE ANIMAL QUEUE
In this fun activity, children need to match the cute animal heads to the correct colours, which helps develop their colour and pattern recognition.
ROTATING HONEYCOMB
Sweet success awaits as little hands turn the honeycomb to get the bee friends to their hive, which teaches them about cause-effect relationships.
TAP TO THE BOTTOM

- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023Style: CubeVerified PurchaseI got this when my kid was 7 months old. He didn't play much with it then because he was not rolling over/crawling/walking..just sitting up basically but even sitting he was pushing the balls down & using the hammer/mallet thing. He was afraid of the spinning thing but he is sensitive to sound. He plays with this activity center EVERYDAY. I feel like he's always discovering new things about it. He loves the spinning thing now at 14 months. But he loves the blocks & top part too. The quality is so nice. Smooth. We did have to sand down the hammer/mallet because his toddler friend came over and beat it so hard creating chips but its back to its normal state now. He uses it to stand. I would definitely recommend. I did purchase other ones & the quality, size just doesn't compare. It is a heavier piece so baby can use to stand and bare their weight. The picture I attached, hes 11 months old.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Style: CubeVerified PurchaseI bought this for my 8 month old grandsughter and she seems to love it. My 2.5 year old grandaughter loves it too. There's plenty of things to do to keep them occupied. The only thing I would consider is putting some sort of non skid pads on the bottom as it can slide a bit on carpet when the baby tries to pull up to stand. It is faurly heavy though and does not seem tippy. With the extra grip it will be a great tool to help her learn to pull up on her own.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2024Style: CubeVerified PurchaseIt was easy to put together and thier really isn't much to it. Package came on time, pretty durable product. And there's a lot on there for a little 1-year-old to do and keeps her entertained. I guess I would buy again if needed to. But the only negative would be is I'm not sure if it's worth the price that I paid which was about $105.00 as of 9/15/24 in case price raises or lowers from here on. I think it isn't worth that price but on that I guess that depends on the customer I assume But it's for my niece she likes it, I really can't complain.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2015Style: CubeVerified PurchaseI had been looking for a play cube for my younger son, so when this went half price near the holidays I pounced on it. I was looking for something that my son could use to pull himself up and hold onto while playing, and even though he's big for his age it hasn't tipped over (though it does slide sometimes). It also doesn't have any (even minor) damage, even after having two boys banging on it very enthusiastically over the past week. (To give you an idea, I also have the Melissa and Doug Pound and Roll tower, which had major dents in the top and all the balls after one play session with my older son.)
Usually I like my toys simple and classic --nothing too cutesy or cartoony-- so I wasn't anticipating liking the look of it, though I know Hape toys are always excellent quality. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail on this toy. The jumble you see on top is actually three different themed bead tracks: One is fish that appear to be jumping in and out of a pond. one is an earthworm that goes into the "ground" and back up again, and the last (my favorite) is bugs which fly into (and through) the mouth of the frog on top.
The balls are similarly not just balls, but they are designed to look like flower faces (and there is even a designated place to put the mallet when not in use!).
The shapes can all be stored in the cube, as it is designed to keep them from falling out once you put the shapes through the holes. (If the cube is jiggled too much they do fall out, though.)
The "bee hive" not only makes fun noise for little ones, but it can also be turned into a game by trying to get the bees into their hives by turning it faster or slower. I myself actually find that one fun!
The last side (which is not pictured) is a maze of sorts, with animal heads. Unlike other ones I've seen, this one seems to have a point-- you move the animal heads to the end of the maze in a specified color order, and move them back to their designated "homes".
Overall, I love the quality and attention to detail of this toy, and both my sons (almost one and almost three) love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Style: CubeVerified PurchaseI purchased this toy for my daughter's first Christmas, she is 8 months old. It is beautiful and very well made. I looked at a few other cubes before buying this one and I'm glad I did. It's just the right height for her to sit and play with the sides or we can place her standing up for her to play with the bead maze on the top. I'm sure eventually she will pull herself up and the cube is solid and heavy enough for her to do this. The activities on each side are amusing and eye catching for a young baby but will also provide a challenge for an older child, in fact my 3 year old daughter has also had fun playing with the cube. I'm hoping that this will be a toy that both daughters will play with for a long time.

GerryReviewed in Italy on April 17, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Un prodotto eccezionale. Resistente, colorato, atossico, divertente!
Style: CubeVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
FACILITA' DI MONTAGGIO: 10
La qualità costruttiva è sorprendente, realizzato completamente in legno robusto a parte i percorsi in metallo della parte superiore, colorato con pittura ad acqua e materiali atossici, un prodotto che sicuramente durerà negli anni. Le dimensioni si attestano sui 35 x 35 x 50 cm.
QUALITA' COSTRUTTIVA E MATERIALI UTILIZZATI: 10
Ha ben 5 attività, una per lato, tutte divertenti e varie:
Lato 1: Il classico gioco delle forme, composto da 5 forme geometriche che andranno inserite negli appositi scomparti. Troviamo poi una cordicella da tirare per far ricadere le forme e ricominciare il gioco.
Lato 2: La ruota labirinto. Il bimbo si divertirà a far girare la ruota e vedere le simpatiche faccine muoversi all'interno del labirinto.
Lato 3: Un labirinto in cui il bimbo si divertirà a far seguire i percorsi alle varie forme.
Lato 4: Dall'alto il bimbo farà partire le tre palline colorate attraverso un martello, queste scenderanno attraverso dei percorsi in discesa.
Lato Superiore: Questa zona è molto ricca di colori e piste in metallo.
VARIETA' DEI GIOCHI PRESENTI: 10
Non credevo potesse già piacerle tanto visto che mia figlia ha solo un anno, invece è davvero entusiasta di questo gioco. La cosa bella è che ci divertiamo anche noi a giocare con lei, ovviamente non riesce a sfruttarlo ancora al pieno delle sue potenzialità quindi cerchiamo di aiutarla in alcuni percorsi. Devo inoltre segnalare che non sono presenti pezzi piccoli che possono essere ingeriti.
DIVERTIMENTO: 10
Di listino costa 145 euro. io l'ho pagato su 115, ma ora ho visto che è presente qui su Amazon a 110 euro circa. Il prezzo è alto non lo nego, ma la qualità costruttiva, i materiali utilizzati, la varietà di giochi presenti ed il divertimento assicurato mi portano a dire che il rapporto qualità/prezzo è più che giusto. Assolutamente consigliato!
RAPPORTO QUALITA'/PREZZO: 10
- NiniReviewed in Canada on August 16, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars My baby loves it!
Style: CubeVerified PurchaseWho doesn’t like this activity centre?! My baby can play with it for a long time and very focused on each activity and he tries to grab the top and stands up so moms should be cautious about this. Even though there are cheaper replacements, but this one is so well designed. Hape never disappoints you.
