Tiny Land® Cottage Activity Cube - Morandi

We have quite a few activity cubes already, but since we love the Tiny Land brand, I knew I had to try this one too — and it didn’t disappoint! I got the rainbow version and it’s absolutely adorable. I’m saving it to gift to my little guy for Christmas (he’ll be 15 months then), but I can already tell it’ll be a hit with both him and his 2.5-year-old sister.

It’s colorful, well constructed, and only requires one piece to be installed, which was super quick and easy. I love that the bead maze is made with silicone beads — such a nice detail — and the xylophone is not only cute but comes with its own little holder for the stick, which is great for keeping things tidy.

This is a high quality cube that’s perfect for toddlers, and I love that it offers engaging play while also being aesthetically pleasing. Tiny Land never lets us down!

This delightful and compact multifunctional activity toy is ideal for hands-on discovery. It comes needing only simple assembly (see picture 3) - just unscrew the blank side panel and flip it over. It’s made of solid wood that is coated with water-based nontoxic paint, which gives me peace of mind as a mom; the rounded edges and surfaces are also perfectly smooth throughout, so no worry about splinters or injury.

The cube is cleverly designed so that each side of the cube engages different kinds of learning: fine motor skills, shape recognition, auditory awareness, and hand-eye coordination. There are plenty of interactive sensory activities to engage our one year old baby, from classic shape sorting for touch and shape recognition to a bead maze for movement, and a small xylophone for sound. There is also a mirror for self-recognition, rotating discs, spinning gears, and press button, among other things.
Our baby is delighted with this toy, and so are we. As a bonus, it requires no clean up beyond tucking the shapes back inside so as not to lose them. We also appreciate that this activity cube is all analog. Love it!

This is a very cute and sturdy little toy. My children (3yrs and 9mo) both enjoyed it, although the skill of it seemed somewhere between their ages (1-2yrs). It has attractive colors and a good variety of activities. I like the chunkiness of the shapes, especially for little kids, and I like the thick rubber of the beads on the wire. It does come needing some assembly, which confused me at first (the bead wires are turned inside in order to fit in the packaging), but there were directions, and switching it out was simple. Nothing is loose, the doors have strong elastic bands, and everything works as it should. Overall, I'm very pleased with this toy (as are my children).
