I am looking to buy one of these cubes for my nephew – all I can find are websites where bulk orders only are allowed – can anyone let me know where I can go to buy just one wooden cube ?

I've been much more inclined to purchase cloth toys for my kid in the wake of all the crazy lead paint craziness, the phlatelet craziness, the bpa craziness, etc. What can go wrong with cloth?

Well, it could be a toy that's the size of my kid :) As cool as they are, I'm just not sure how feasible they are for a small one to manipulate. Or at least to use with the intended purpose.

I want to make a photo cube.

My previous company used these as marketing giveaways for trade shows. You know, the kind of ‘toy’ whose sole intention is to garner prime desk real estate. My then 2-year old got ahold of mine one time, and was completely enamoured by it. It didn’t matter that the pictures were of boring lab test equipment. I think it was the concept that got her. Not sure how I feel about a plush version for babies though..I’m not against it but I don’t think I care for that ticket price.

My mom made a fabric one of these a few years ago. The one she made wasn’t as big as the one at Amazon, but more like the wooden block sized ones. No pictures – just bright colors. My kids LOVE IT. It’s fascinating to play with – I find myself manipulating it unconsciously if I happen to pick it up.

I recently asked her if she had the pattern, as I think these would make great gifts, but she can’t find it. I might try to make a pattern based on the paper model.

We have a few of these, both stories laid out in picture form, one of the Christmas story, one of the Easter story. My 2.5 year old loved the Easter one this past year, and as he would flip through the different scenes we would talk through parts of the story. We accidentally left that one in his room during a supposed nap time, though, and it was pretty instantly destroyed while he was playing with it on his own. I LOVE the idea of making our own, with pictures. And I really like the story format, too. It is a fun, different way to "read" something to your kids. This website (http://www.goodnewsgifts.com/index.html) shows something similar to what we have, but all I could find to compare in my 5-seconds of searching.
