Learning Resources Snap Cubes Set of 500 - Math Manipulatives for Elementary School, Kindergarten Learning & Education Toys, Math Cubes, Counting Blocks for Classroom Centers and Homeschool

My son is Autistic and his "focus" is numbers. He will make numbers out of anything from Playdoh, putty to Legos, cut paper, etc. Just about anything. These are easy to use, versatile, and there are plenty in this pack to do about anything. As for the rest of the family, they are great for building houses, forts, etc. My daughter even uses them in her "Minecraft" imaginative play. They are fun, durable and quite easy to use. I do recommend them.

I discovered this item at my grandson's school and originally purchased a set of 100. That is enough if you are using them for math skills, but he really enjoys building with them and so I purchased another set of 500. I can foresee them being used for many years. The holes are round which allows the connected cube to swivel and he can be more creative with them.

These are great for a kid who loves blocks but doesn’t like Legos because you “can’t build from all the sides of the block”.

It's what the teacher asked for.

Although shipping to Japan is not cheap the cubes were sold at a much lower price in than in Japan so I included other materials in my order and it all worked out to a good deal. I use them at home in my homeschooling. The cubes come with a small paper with ideas on how to use them. There are also books that you can buy for unifix cubes that apply to these snap cubes. The advantage to using snap cubes is that they require more strength and are good for builing up your child's finger strength.My sons also enjoys playing with snap cubes for building. I taped pairs of brown cubes together so that the "male" goes both ways or to make joints for building.

My daughter had been asking for these cubes for MONTHS. They are used in school for learning and are similar to legos but on a smaller scale. I was very pleased with the price and quality of the cubes. We use them mostly for pleasure then learning but it's good to know that you can teach your child and have fun at the same time!!

These are perfect for children of all ages !!! Huge hit for my daycare kids they love them and with 500 of the cubes enough to go around !!! They create something and now can play with it for weeks at a time !!!

I've used snap cubes and Unifix cubes in my classroom for years. They are fantastic tools for teaching numerous math concepts such as place value, patterning, and basic addition and subtraction. I ordered this set online thinking it would be of the same quality as sets I've previously owned. However, I was disappointed to find that these cubes are made of a much lower quality plastic, so the cubes don't always snap together properly. These particular cubes frustrate my students because some pieces are too hard to connect and other pieces constantly break apart. These cubes are okay, but if I had the chance to order again, I'd look for a better set. It might be worth it to pay a bit more and get better quality. (Although, at $50 a set, I don't think these were very cheap.)
