Car Essentials: The Rubik’s Cube

October 17, 2012 by admin

OK. We know that it has been thirty years or more since this toy was all the rage.  But it’s still a great item to have in the car.  We consider it a “car essential.”

Having a small stash of toys and activities in the car for our kids is a must for us.  When a trip goes too long, or a wait at the doctor’s office looks ominous, all we have to do is dig out a special car toy.  It can keep a kiddo occupied for a long time.  For us, one of the standbys in the car is the venerable Rubik’s Cube.

Even when Bluey was still too little to really do much with it, he loved playing with the Rubik’s Cube.  Over time it has helped him learn his colors and has improved his hand-eye coordination.  Now that Bluey’s old enough to understand that the ‘goal’ of the puzzle, you can see his mind at work trying to figure out how to solve it.

And of course, it is fun for all ages.  Although Plum didn’t encounter the Rubik’s Cube at the same young age as her brother, she also gets sucked into trying to figure it out.   Even Mom or Dad will take a crack at it on a long drive.

The Rubik’s Cube is a great car toy.  It’s colorful. It has moving parts.  But it has no removable bits to lose.   And it offers a new challenge every time you pick it up.

What’s your go-to boredom buster?
