Discovery Cubes provide an excellent way to get the creative juices flowing or to mentally unwind in the midst of a busy day. Regardless of one's motive for picking them up, Discovery Cubes tend to have the effect of absorbing the user's attention, freeing the mind to play and create in ways that differ from the norm. There are 12 cubes in a set - small, lightweight wooden blocks of varying shapes with velcro strips attached that allow them to connect to, and detach from, one another quickly and easily. The instructions provide step-by-step illustrations of how to make more than a dozen complex objects (flower, horse, race car, skateboard, and others). But where Discovery Cubes particularly shines is in inspiring free form creativity, the kind of agenda-less mental meandering coupled with physical action that relaxes the mind and can lead to 'aha moments' filled with solutions to problems you didn't even know you were trying to solve.
