Security. Why are our busy cubes good?
A. The base material on all busy cubes is E1 birch plywood. They are painted with water-based acrylic paint or may not be painted. Birch plywood is one of the best materials for children's toys. In addition to being high quality, it is quite lightweight and non-toxic for children and adults.
B. Fixing parts. We use screws with rounded heads so as not to injure the child's handles. We check each screw, if necessary, we grind it additionally or do not use a poor quality one.
C. To fix the parts in the busy cube, we use PVA d4 glue. This is a special and not a simple glue, it adheres to parts incredibly tightly. In everyday life, people use this glue for stairs and wood. If you have a ladder made of wood, there may be this glue in it too. Due to its high strength and quality, you may not notice its presence.
D. Rounded corners, no sharp edges! When I was designing the wooden activity cube, the first task I set for myself was rounded corners. I have repeatedly observed babies crawling and learning to walk. They fall so many times a day! Therefore, round corners in children's toys and furniture are very important!
E. Busy cube has safe opening mechanisms. These are auxiliary mechanisms for opening a shock absorber and a closer, so that when closing the cube lid, the child does not hurt his fingers. The closer stops the movement. Unfortunately, some of our competitors do not use mechanisms at all, and the child can severely injure, break, cut off his fingers. Small children's hands are very gentle. Therefore, when choosing an activity cube in any store, pay attention to this. And ask the manufacturer about it.
F. Gear guards. To prevent the kid from damaging his fingers between the wheels, we put special fuses. This makes our busy cube safe compared to other similar products on the market.
G. Careful sanding of the details in each wooden activity cube. Thanks to the high-quality birch plywood base material, this is possible. And we do a very thorough sanding of every wood piece, every cube element before assembling and fixing.
Feature of our wooden activity cube:
1) There is a place for storing toys inside. This is another plus for parents. Your little one's favorite toys can be quickly folded inside and tidied up in the room.
2) Unlike a board, a cube can be easily moved between rooms and can be placed in any room, does not require fastening.
3) The cube comes assembled so you can only unpack it to check the details. And after that everything is ready! You can let your baby play.
4) The weight of the cube is about 7 kg. It will be difficult for a child to overturn it on herself or himself.
5) The cube can safely serve as a support when the child is just learning to walk. Children can learn to stand up from the cube.
If you are looking for a safe toy for your baby that will help develop and when the baby is learning to walk, choose our wooden activity cube. In the previous paragraphs, I tried to show how our family is working on each piece of the busy cube for your child.
We have been making busy boards of different types since 2017. And I'm proud that we were the first to use gear protectors. At the beginning of our activity, we received feedback from the kindergarten. When two children played with gears, one chewed on the child's fingers and there was a slight injury. Since then, our gears have come with fuses only! Many manufacturers don't use them! Although it is dangerous.
