What our expert thinks

These brightly coloured foam filled cubes act as the dice in this fun exercise game. Each side of the cube has an engaging picture and instruction, such as ‘Jump like a lion’ or ‘Gallop like a horse’ to encourage children to get moving. The animal themed cubes were particularly popular with our younger testers, who also really enjoyed throwing the cubes and stacking them to make towers, helping to develop their gross motor skills and understanding of cause and effect.

The exercise and space themed cubes were a big hit with the older testers, some of them commenting on how the moves were similar to those they do at football training. The younger children weren’t able to read the instructions on the cubes so needed to carefully listen to and watch an adult to understand what to do, but once they were familiar with the pictures and had a few goes, they were able to play independently.

Some of the children made up their own variations of the game – an 8 year old girl threw three in the air at once and did the all the actions as quickly as possible after they landed. And a 7 year old boy suggested some easier moves for the younger children to do as they played with the exercise themed cube. A great resource to keep children active while using their imaginations and having fun.
