Toys for Boys Age 8-12 Gifts,Star Cube Magic Cube Set for 9 10 11 12 Year Old Boy Girls,Classic Infinity Cube Fidget Toy,Brain Development Puzzle Games for Children,Creative Gifts for Children

These modern puzzles are a treat. We purchased these as a gift for our adult son. They however quickly became a treat for young adults, teens of both sexes.

I viewed this before I purchased it, thought it would be a good Christmas gift for my 8 YR old great grandson. I think he will like it very much.

Infinity cubes like this are fun to handle and turn from a cube to a rectangular prism by flipping the sides around. This one is even neater in that you can split it into 2 pieces which each change from a cube to a star and back as you flip them around.The star and galaxy theme seems appropriate for an infinity cube, but the images are sort of inconsistent. One cube shows planets, the moon, and the ever-ambiguous Pluto, and the star form shows a generic starry sky pattern all around. The other cube shows different galaxies on every tile (so that’s 4 galaxies per side), and the star form shows even more galaxies. In my opinion that cube looks too busy with all those galaxies around.I like having desk toys and collectibles around me when I work. I think this is a very neat toy for a child (and for adults to fiddle with), but it has a couple of issues that would keep me from making it a display item on my desk. While I would prefer different patterns on the design, they don’t bother me that much. The part I really don’t like is that the pieces have trouble holding their shape. When you combine the 2 halves, they tend to separate in your hands when you hit certain positions while turning the sides around. Also, none of the cube forms “rest” properly when you set them down. They all leave gaps or spaces where the shape is trying to bend itself out of the cube form. In other words, if you’re not holding it in place, it’s not a perfect cube, and that looks a little sloppy as a desk decoration. These details only matter if you want to show off the cube on a desk or shelf, but I thought they were worth pointing out for anyone as particular as I am.In the end, this is a fun toy or gift. It's not quite "executive desk toy" quality in my opinion, but it's definitely charming and unique and I think most people would enjoy it.

I haven't given them to the grandkids yet, but I am sure they will enjoy them.

already playing with it....

Smaller than I was expecting and didn't keep shapes very strongly but that's probably because I wanted to avoid rare earth magnets. My grandson enjoyed it anyway. You get what you pay for.

Bought this for mygrandson. This was very small and cheaply made. Not worth what they are charging for it. I returned it.

I gave 2 of these toys abs Christmas giffs, 1 to my 7 yr granddaughter & 1 to my 12 yr old grandson & they BOTH love playing with them! I was so glad. They said they kept on playing with them so they could see just how MANY different shapes they could do (& I'm sure they are STILL making different shapes, when they continue playing with them often). I do recommend this FUN toy. Even I played with it! Great value for the price!
