Our Favorite Family Pajamas

New Toy for Fidgety Hands

My kids just discovered the CuberSpeed Rainbow Ball–another game for fidgety hands but this one also exercises the brain. It’s sort of like a Rubik’s Cube but round. It has 12 holes and 11 color balls. The objective is to scramble the colored balls, then figure out how to get them all back into their matching colored slots in […]
