but how did cube fun come about?

Read on to find out how the exercise dice game idea began...

Lockdown 2020 I was a stay at home mum with a 3 and a 4 year old. Cooper and Carter were two very active boys who attended swimming, gymnastics and jiu jitsu, pre lockdown. When they could not get to the local park to burn off their excess energy, I spent lots of time outdoors on walks with them.

However taking a 3 and 4 year old for a walk, alongside main roads is no easy feat, it was fine when they would both sit in the double buggy for me but within a few months that became near impossible. They would cry and beg me to let them walk by themselves, I would give in, and spend the rest of the walk trying to manage two running kids with a double buggy in toe.

By this stage you are thinking “what has all this got to do with cubefun?” It’s coming, I promise.

So as a mummy, I knew I had to make these walks more calm for me and more fun as well as safe for the kids so that they wouldn't run off on me. I created the walk like an animal game…. I would tell the kids to walk to the next red car like a penguin, walk to the lamppost like a turtle, run to the bus shelter like a cheetah, and so began our fun walks during lockdown 2020. The kids would do the actions of the animals and I would give them a designated location to wait for me, that was not too far ahead, safe and a fun exercise game.

By the summer of 2020 I had the two boys' birthday parties coming up and as we had to have a socially distanced outdoor party I was thinking of some games that they could play with their cousins. During this time I happened to receive an amazon delivery in a perfectly cubed box. I knew I would repurpose it so I kept it and came up with the idea to draw some pictures of the animals doing the actions.

We sat and decided on what animals the boys would like on the cube box and designed a walk like a crab, hop like a frog, waddle like a duck and glued these images onto the box. The children's exercise dice game was created.

This cardboard box was brought to 4 different parties in the summer of 2020 and it was then repurposed again for a halloween themed party in october. It was here that I was encouraged to seek help in getting my idea made into a real toy for kids. I contacted go for it NI in November 2020 and as they say the rest is history.
Its July 2021 and we have just launched 4 themed products to the online marketplace.
I am beyond proud of the journey I have been on this last year and I am so grateful to have an army of supporters cheering me on.
Thank you for reading my story.

  We have bought all of these cubes, the animals, exercise and Christmas ones! We absolutely adore them! We use them in our Montessori school and also in our early intervention play sessions so they are great in groups or individually 🥰

  These cubes have to have been, and are, the best addition to teaching English as a foreign language to kiddies. The vocabulary taught and learned using them is incredible, we are talking 3 to 10 year olds.
Great for fun parties too, be it Adults or children.
I would highly recommend them. Great initiative Caitrin.

  Cubefun is a fantastic toy that I highly recommend.  My kids have so much fun playing Cubefun together and they just love it to when the grown-ups join in and play too! Having practised as a Children’s Occupational Therapist I love to see new engaging toys that will benefit all areas of child development. CubeFun does just that and is perfect for both individual and group therapy sessions. An essential for every Paediatric Allied Health Professionals toolkit!

  My kids love the exercise cube! It keeps them active on rainy days. All 3 play with it together and are aged from 2-8. Every home should have one!

  I bought this lovely little cube a few months ago. In my role providing intervention support to parents of autistic children, using the cube has been a great way of gaining attention and building relationships especially with non verbal children. The cube is bright and colourful, I bought the farm animal one. We use it at the start of sessions to create engagement and practice our gross motor skills (sometimes with siblings and Mum/Dad) joining in. Would highly recommend to parents as a way of building and sustaining attention, developing turn taking skills and also to have fun and just be silly 😊

  These cubes are fantasti  fun and there is so much learninghapoening too. As a speech and language therapist I have made cubes like these out of cardboard boxes in the past because they are wonderful for supporting attention, movement breaks, following directions, understanding action words, improving vocabulary and lots more. No more making cubes for me! Caitrin has come along with a brilliant product for all kiddies to enjoy and have the craic at the same time! Highly recommend!

  CubeFun Jungle Theme Soft Plush Kids Activity Toy Game / Learning & Exercise Cube, Orange, Green, Yellow, 15cm x 15cm x 15cm: Worth every penny!
My little one absolutely loves this and it's fun for them to be entertained on their own and for the family to get involved. So easy to get the little one off a screen and doing some exercises without feeling like they're exercising! Endless fun, and even made for a few laughs at a barbeque with someone family visiting!
