4 Stars Great Choice
My 3 year old daughter loved this puzzle and continues to play with it. It is nice because it fits together easily (no funny shapes) and she likes the pictures.

5 Stars Challenging
This is a challenging puzzle meant for older pre-schoolers or early elementary age. The pictures are interesting and appealing and fairly simple with sharp colors and durable blocks. This puzzle is difficult because children must select the appropriate side of each cube in order to complete the puzzle picture. The task is made simpler by the unique border color around each picture. This puzzle is made to last and will be enjoyed for years. Just don’t expect a very young child to master it.

1 Star Not what I expect from Melissa and Doug
Most Melissa and Doug products are great. Painted surfaces and durable. I bought this one expecting the same, but was very disappointed. The blocks have pictures on paper poorly glued on. I have had to cover every block in book tape to keep it from peeling.

5 Stars Pets Cube Puzzle
We gave this puzzle as a gift and we have heard that it is a big hit!

5 Stars This was such fun! I’d recommend for over 4 year olds and up, since it’s a little advanced for under that age.
Great toy. It’s like having several puzzles in one. Best for over 4 yrs old and up since it’s tough to remember earlier than that. A+

Rubiks 4X4 Cube

Rubik’s 4X4 will drive you crazy. You may think you will be able to solve this puzzle quickly, but then you make a turn on the cube and it changes all over again. The constant changing Rubik’s 4X4 will keep you entertained for hours.

5 Stars Great Quality Cube
This 4×4 cube is way better quality than my old one. The stickers on the old one peeled off soon after use and eventually broke. I have had no stickers peel and no broken pieces on this one. Keep in mind that all 4×4 cubes are stiff to move. But I sprayed silicon spray in it, and it moves beautifully now. If you are going to buy a 4×4 cube, I definitely recommend getting this one.

2 Stars Don’t bother…
With the resurgance of the Rubik’s cube over the past several years, it brought me back and with kids elementary and high school age I wanted to re-experience the fun of 25 years ago with the new generation so I purchased some Rubik’s brand cubes. 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 to share with my kids. They have been a lot of fun. The Rubik’s 3×3 is just as I remembered it. A bit stiff at first but with time (and a little silicon lubricant) it loosens up nicely. My 11 year old has already mastered that one! The 4×4 is a real disappointment though. Very sticky and jams up a lot, even with a liberal dose of silicon lubricant. Also, the 4×4 is very prone to popping cubies when you go too fast. Simply put, the Rubik’s brand 4×4 makes me tired. The Rubik’s 5×5 performs better. In my opinion, don’t waste your money on the Rubik’s brand 4×4. Instead, get a much better value from purchasing an Eastsheen 4×4.

2 Stars 4×4x4 Rubiks cube
The 4×4x4 Rubik’s cube is very hard to turn, locks up a lot, and pops a lot, too.

What am i saying ??

Well, it’s very hard to turn. If you would like to lubricate it with silicone it doesn’t make it any better.

It locks up a lot – meaning that it gets stuck. You cant turn the layer anymore. You have to twist back or twist other layers to get it back to work. This cube is NOT recommended for speed cubing.

It pops , A LOT. The piece come off all the time. I didn’t have one solve where one piece didn’t come off.

I recommend this cube for beginners. Those who never had any experience with a 4×4. But i do not recommend it to those who want to solve it fast or are annoyed by the lockups [ every second turn it locks up ] and pops [ it pops when you have a lockup and accidentally pushed too hard or you're turning the layers very fast ]

Boggle

You can’t beat a classic like Boggle for sheer return of fun on one’s investment in a simple game. A small container holds 16 cubes, each cube marked with a different letter on each of its six sides. Give the container a good shake, and the cubes land within little pockets. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find as many words (of three-or-more letters) as you can–in three minutes. Points are tallied by word length. –Tom Keogh

5 Stars Boggle at Your Leisure
This is a game that can be played at almost any time or place. A couple square feet is more than enough space. Set up time is measured in seconds and each game lasts just minutes. As word games go, this has to be one of the most stimulating and fun.

5 Stars Boogle
The enfire family gets involved with this game. We set up competitions to see who can get the longest word or the shortes word or how many words you can begin with a particular letter. We play for hours with this game. Extremely durable. The kids can play this game by themselves or with each other. Wonderful!!!

5 Stars Fun for everybody!
I played Boggle with my friends at church when we had a boardgame day and got hooked. Now I have my own Boggle to carry around and play with my friends:) It’s portable and with your own pens and paper, you can play this game anywhere and any time you want.

5 Stars Love it!
The kids and I are loving playing this game. My 15 year old sets the rules that we have to include the english, french and spanish languages… which leads to some hilarious discussions…. oui oui!

5 Stars SO much fun!
I was playing this game with my (grown!) daughter, and before we knew it, 3 1/2 hours had passed. Lots of laughing. It’s amazing how many words can be made from one toss, and it’s amazing how different your words can be from your opponent’s. Great game!

5 Stars amazing quality!
This rubik’s cube is pretty durable..it really makes your brain think, figuring out algorithms is pretty hard.

It is what you expect, works great, and is original.

Only downside is that the cube uses stickers for the colors.

The stickers seems to be pretty durable, it hasn’t peeled or anything yet.

Pretty good.

Cheaper priced than the winning moves brand one, hasbro/milton bradley is pretty well know brand compared to winning moves which is unknown brand.

5 Stars Fun Rubik’s Cube!
My son and I enjoy this toy. He knows it better than myself. I highly recommend it.

5 Stars the coolest
Rubik’s Cubes are the coolest. This one lasts longer than the cheap ones that aren’t Rubik’s brand.

3 Stars An extemely fun toy not well built!
This is a very fun toy, but unfortunately, the stickers aren’t very sturdy. The color first starts to fade. Then, slow, the corners of the colors start peeling off. Now i have a cube that looks like a hobo.

5 Stars Exactly as expected
This product arrived exactly as expected: complete and new-in-package. It arrived in a timely fashion and provides hours of entertainment. The solution guide in the box was not very helpful but you can download very good ones from the interweb. The cube arrived in the solved configuration which allowed me to experiment with it before I randomized it for the real challenge. Lots of fun; a great little puzzle.
