Great concept, but needs a working video link
We have received a free Rubik’s Coach Cube from #SpinMaster #Butterly for a honest review.
My 10-year-old has been interested in the Rubik’s cube since grade 2 because it was a popular item back then in her class, and this went on into grade 3. Her best friend learned how to solve it and tried teaching her on multiple occasions, but all she was able to learn was to make the daisy and that’s as far as this got. So when we got this in the mail, she was excited. This cube has numbered stickers that are peelable and supposed to help children learn how to solve the cube. It comes with an instruction booklet and also a QR code for the video instruction. However upon trying the QR code, the link doesn’t work, and #SpinMaster confirmed to #Butterly that because this toy is not available for sale yet, the link won’t be available until then. This was a bummer but we gave the instruction booklet a try. Unfortunately it was too difficult for my 10-year-old to comprehend so we were unable to learn how to use this. We will have to patiently wait for the video instructions to become available. This cube is rated for 8+, but the instructions are definitely too complicated for this age group.
Great way to learn the cube once
My son absolutely loves the Rubik cube products but finds solving the 3x3 difficult. This cube helped train him how to solve it but it was soon forgotten. We stuck the stickers we peeled off to reinstall them and that helped but many won't save the stickers like us. He still can't solve it on his own and I found the steps hard to understand at times and I can solve the cube. The cube itself is great and high quality. I don't believe I would buy this as to learn a skill it has to be done a few times.
