Woopie Green farm cubes are a creative alternative to classic puzzles and blocks: colourful illustrated boxes become animal homes, while wooden figures introduce role play.

These farm stacking cubes for toddlers combine learning and play. Each box shows a different animal home – from a big cow to a small hen – and they are numbered by size and number of animals. The pictures carry English animal names, so your toddler hears a second language early on. Openings in the boxes let children hide the animals, and the boxes can also store crayons or figures. The manufacturer states they are painted with non-toxic paint. Designed for toddlers from 12 months, girls and boys alike.

What your child develops

• Creativity and imagination. The boxes become a farm where the figures live.
• Visual perception and logic. Boxes go in order from smallest to largest.
• Animals and their homes. Your toddler learns which animal lives where.
• English words. Animal names in English are first foreign words.
• Counting and ordering. Numbers on the boxes help with counting.

How to play

Stack the boxes into a tower from largest to smallest and let your toddler knock it down. Then hide an animal in a box and ask where it has gone.

Older toddlers can nest the boxes, count the animals or name them in both languages.

A great gift

The farm cubes are a good gift for toddlers from one year – for a first birthday or Christmas.
