Checklist For Motor Cubes
- Motor cubes that improve your child’s hand-eye coordination, for example, come in the classic cube form, but are increasingly being replaced by play tables and other models that, in addition to the typical motor loop, have numerous additional features , many of which are accompanied by sounds.
- Depending on the requirements set, motor activity cubes are offered for children from 12 months.
- However, some models are suitable for children as young as 18 months.
- Most motor cubes are offered for children from the age of 36 months.
- Depending on the stated age recommendation, the respective difficulty level also varies. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s specifications in order to support your child according to his or her developmental stage.
- High-quality motor cubes are almost always made of wood. The loop, on the other hand, is usually made of metal.
- Modern variants, especially play tables are often made of plastic. Motor cubes made of plastic are easier to clean and usually also much cheaper to buy, but lack sustainability.
- In addition, motor cubes made of wood are usually also somewhat more durable.
- Among other things, the weight has an influence on the stability. So that a smaller motor activity cube does not simply slip away when your child tries the loop, it should not be too light.
- On the other hand, the weight also often makes the motor cube less flexible. If you want to take it on the road and on trips more often, you should go for a somewhat lighter model . Motor cubes usually weigh between 1 kg and 6 kg.
- A compact motor cube is much easier to transport, but usually offers fewer functions than a larger cube.
- Play tables are usually about 50 x 50 cm in size, motor cubes come in a small size of just less than 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm or similar in size to a play table.
