Three hands-on activity cubes, one page. Pick the Owl Cube for magnetic fishing, whack-a-mole and a xylophone, the Space and Gears Cube for spinning and turning controls, or the Phone and Numbers Cube for pretend calls and buttons. Every cube is fully manual, so there is nothing to charge and no screen. Children make every movement and sound themselves.

Choose your cube in the selector above (it is labelled “Color”, but each option is a different design), then tap Add to cart. Made for ages 3 and up. For younger toddlers, see our 10-in-1 Montessori busy cube instead.

Size check: photos can make a tabletop toy look bigger than it is. The Owl Cube is 22.5 cm long, just longer than the long edge of an A5 page, and 12.6 cm wide and high. It suits a shelf, play table or a spot on the floor, and the magnetic fish and bugs are small pieces, so choose it for children who are past the mouthing stage.

Explore the owl cube activities

What children can do on the owl cube
Activity Action Simple play prompt
Magnetic fishing and bugs Guide the magnetic rod towards the fish or bug pieces “Can you catch the striped fish?”
Pop-up figures Tap the figures with the included hammer Take turns choosing one figure to tap
Clock and gears Turn the clock hand and rotating gear panel Name a number, then move the hand towards it
Blocks and owl face Match the numbered blocks and turn the owl face control Match one block before adding the next
Maze and sliding fish Move the ball or fish through its track Move slowly from one end to the other
Xylophone Tap the coloured bars with the mallets Copy a short two-note pattern

Tapping, catching, turning and matching practise hand-eye coordination and finger control, while the clock, number blocks and counting games give early number play a real job to do. The xylophone is struck by hand, so children hear the result of their own actions. For more ideas on choosing hands-on toys by age, read our guide to the best Montessori busy boards.

How to start without overwhelming playtime

  1. Read the age and warning label before opening the loose magnetic pieces.
  2. Choose one side of the cube and keep the unused pieces out of reach.
  3. Show one action (tap, catch, turn, match or slide), then let your child try.
  4. Use short prompts and stop while it is still fun.
  5. Count the fish, bugs, blocks and tools before packing the set away.

Start with the easier tapping and turning actions, then move on to the more precise magnetic catching and matching. Place the cube on a steady floor or low table before using the hammer and magnetic tools. If your child loves hands-on play, the toddler busy boards collection has more to explore.

Age, safety and care

Made for ages 3 and up

  • Use with an adult nearby, especially around the magnetic fish, bugs, blocks and tools.
  • Keep all loose pieces away from children under 3 and anyone who still puts toys in their mouth. The magnetic fish and bugs are small enough to fit in a mouth, so younger players should not use them unsupervised. If a magnet or small piece is swallowed, get urgent medical help.
  • Count every removable piece before and after play.
  • Stop using the toy if a magnet, cord, piece, edge or moving part becomes loose, cracked or damaged.
  • Follow the age and warning label supplied with your toy.

Care is simple. Wipe the cube with a dry or lightly damp cloth, dry it straight away and keep it out of water, because it has magnets and moving parts. Do not soak or immerse it. Shopping for a baby or younger toddler? Our busy boards for infants and Montessori toys Australia collections list the age on every product.

Frequently asked questions

Which activity cube should I choose?

Choose the Owl Cube (selector “Montessori Cube”, $62.99) if you want the most variety, including magnetic fishing, whack-a-mole and a xylophone. Choose the Space and Gears Cube (“Montessori Cube A”, $95.99) for spinning and turning controls, or the Phone and Numbers Cube (“Montessori Cube B”, $100.99) for pretend phone play and number buttons.

What is the difference between the three cubes?

The Owl Cube is a longer owl-shaped cube with eleven play areas. Cubes A and B are rounded cubes with pop-up figures, carrot pieces and extra turning controls. Cube A adds rotating space-style gears, while Cube B adds a pretend handset and number keypad.

How many activities are on the owl cube?

Eleven: whack-a-mole, magnetic fishing, magnetic bugs, clock, gears, block matching, changing owl face, ball maze, sliding fish, xylophone and push-pull controls.

What comes with the owl cube?

The Owl Cube comes with 3 play tools, 6 magnetic bugs, 3 magnetic fish, 4 number blocks, 8 pop-up figures and gift-box packaging.

Does it need batteries?

No. Every cube is operated by hand, by tapping, pulling, turning, sliding or moving magnets, so there is nothing to charge or replace.

What age is it suitable for?

It is made for children aged 3 and up. The magnetic pieces and other loose parts must be kept away from children under 3. For younger toddlers, we suggest the 10-in-1 Montessori busy cube.

Is the xylophone electronic?

No. The coloured bars are struck by hand with the mallets, so there are no electronics or volume buttons.

Are all three cubes the same size?

No. The Owl Cube measures 22.5 × 12.6 × 12.6 cm. For the size of Cube A or Cube B, email info@toys4us.au before ordering and we will confirm it.

Is it bigger or smaller than it looks in the photos?

It is a compact tabletop toy. The Owl Cube measures 22.5 × 12.6 × 12.6 cm, so use those numbers rather than the photos to judge the size. For the size of Cube A or Cube B, email info@toys4us.au before ordering.

Is it safety certified?

The supplier lists CE and China 3C certification for this toy. Please still follow the age and warning label that comes with your cube, and keep the loose magnetic pieces away from children under 3.

How long does delivery take, and can I return it?

We ship Australia-wide. Orders are normally dispatched in 2–4 business days and take about 2–4 business days to arrive, with tracking. Unused items in original packaging can be returned within 14 days for an exchange or store credit. See our shipping policy and return policy for details.
