The six-sided design sets this apart because its unique shape makes it less of a tip-over risk if your baby pulls themselves up using it. Each side has a fun activity, including shape sorting, an abacus to practice counting, addition, and subtraction, animal mazes, moving gears, and more. Parents should note that the educational shape sorting does not work traditionally. Instead, there are magnets that attach the shape to different areas of the board. This can be harder for younger kids to figure out.

The Play22 Activity Cubehas five sides and activities like abacus counting beads, sliding shapes, counting numbers, shape sorting, and more. Another unique feature of this toy is the bead maze, which can be completely removed from the top of the cube for play.

The VTech Activity Cube is a plastic activity cube that lights up and makes sounds. It is recommended for ages 9 months to 36 months.

This activity cube is designed for use by children ages 1 and older. Some of the activities include zig-zagging beads up and down, spinning tiles with animal friends, doors that open to reveal animals, and more. With so many different movements, your child gets to explore the world through cause-and-effect.One thing to note is that the design of this cube has changed over time. There were complaints with the earlier model about sharp edges even though the corners were sanded down but the edges are sanded now as well. This also had a spinning base, however, that was found to have safety issues and it was removed. Pros
