Learning on six sides

The first things a child learns are colours, numbers and shapes. How about having all of these on a cube? A practical and amusing way to learn by playing. We will show you how to do it in 4 simple steps.

MATERIALS

APLI cardboard

APLI Color Sticks

APLI stickers

APLI scissors

APLI white glue

A ruler

STEP 1

Draw this figure using a ruler. Each square will measure 12cm x 12cm. Then cut it out and fold at the edges of the squares and the tabs that will be used to stick the sides together.

STEP 2

Paint each side of the cube with the color sticks.

STEP 3

Distribute the stickers on each square, taking into account the number.

STEP 4

Apply glue to the tabs. If you find it difficult to make the cube by gluing, you can join the edges with Sellotape to keep the cube together.

STEP 5

And… voilà! This is the result. A lightweight cube for the kids to move around and full of colour to stimulate their curiosity. We hope you liked it!
