Description
Publisher's Description of Puzzle Cubes (Met)
Bring the wonder of art into your child’s playtime with the Hape x The Met 6-in-1 Art Puzzle Cubes. This clever block set features six wooden cubes, each side printed with a different image drawn from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.
As children rotate and match the blocks, they’ll reveal six distinct scenes from around the world and across time:
· Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies by Claude Monet
· Under the Wave off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai
· Composition by Piet Mondrian
· Wheat Field with Cypresses by Vincent van Gogh
· The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (from The Unicorn Tapestries)
· Mäda Primavesi by Gustav Klimt
Perfect for ages 2 and up, this block puzzle supports early learning
by encouraging visual memory, hand-eye coordination, and pattern
recognition. As children complete each image, they’re also introduced to
a wide range of styles—from bold lines and color fields to expressive
brushwork and historical textiles.
Designed in collaboration with early-childhood experts and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this toy makes a fun and meaningful gift while helping kids connect with creativity, culture, and storytelling.
