Video Games And Building Blocks Are A Few Of His Favorite Things And You Can Win A Sifteo Game System Too

When I went to BlogHer ’12  this summer, a booth stood out to me because I’d never seen anything like it, and I knew my son would love it. The Sifteo Cubes are 1.7 inch cubes that are video games and building blocks, two of my son’s favorite things so I was very excited to hear from them this holiday season.

And so was he!

It’s like he knew he’d love it even before taking them out of the box.

And once I popped in the batteries, my son couldn’t even bother finding a chair.

Are you sure you don’t want to sit down?

The video games are played from one screen to the next so it’s not just about playing but thinking through how to tilt, shift, neighbor and press different cubes, and you can add up to 12 cubes to make the games even more challenging. So far, we’ve stuck to the basic set because my son is 6-year-old, and I wanted him to have fun for his first week with the Sifteo cube, not be frustrated. We will use our add-on cube once he’s mastered the video games he has.

My son loved them, and, since I love a good puzzle game myself, I love them, too.

Here’s a quick video of him playing with the Sifteo Cubes so you can get a good idea of what the Sifteo Cubes are like.

It’s important to realized that the graphics aren’t at the level of video games today. They remind me more of the games I played as a kid, but I think what the cubes lack in fancy graphics, they make up for in interactive-ness. Watching my son rearrange the blocks to move characters around or to match up colors and shapes and letters makes his time playing feel less like spaced-out screen time and more like playing logic games or interactive reading games.

Because we loved these so much, we are also giving away a Sifteo Cubes, Interactive Game System set to y’all!
