The Rubik’s Cube is back but new versions are even faster. Speedcubing has now become popularized. Not all cubes are made equal.

It is perfect for a beginner with easy to fly features and stability control. It also has some cool more advanced features they can grow into as they learn the controls.

Kids will love the freedom of wireless headphones! One reviewer said: “Right out of the box, it took only seconds to connect to my iPhone. The sound quality wasn’t quite what you would get with an expensive set but still pretty good for the money.

I really appreciate that it doesn’t require a phone app or remote to work. You can adjust the lighting with the control panel that is attached.

This bestseller comes with endless possibilities to design and build your own racetracks. I love the science component that allows kids to experiment with gravity. You can also add on to create a more complex track. Shop those sets here.
