MY THOUGHTS:

So I never got the hang of the original Rubik’s Cube, but the Rubik’s Slide is right up my alley.  I love that it is also electronic which is perfect for the upcoming generation of technology-loving kids!  What you do is preview a puzzle by seeing the lights and then you twist and turn until you can accomplish the same puzzle.  It is pretty small and very easy to keep in your purse, backpack or wherever else you may need to whip something out to kill time or keep your kids busy.  The recommend ages are 8 and up, but I let my almost 4-year old play with it and even though he has no clue what he is doing I have a feeling he will get the hang of it quickly.

I would say this is like the original Rubik’s Cube cut in half and battery operated!  It is addicting and whether you like the original Rubik’s Cube or not, it is a fun game.  I even found my husband playing with it during commercial breaks of the football games!  It is challenging though so be warned!

BUY IT: You can buy the Rubik’s Slide at your local mass retailer including Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Kmart, and more!  You can even purchase it from Amazon for $19.42.

WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Rubik’s Slide
