Connected by a fun traffic theme, this hub is comprised of five multimodal activities. Your child can explore motion with turning gears, use logic to maneuver vehicles on a busy road, develop memory and vocabulary with flash cards, race around the bead maze, and develop fine motor skills and express creativity on the whiteboard. The cube stands up to 14" tall and 8" wide, but the bead maze flips and tucks flat for quick, easy, stackable storage.

What is Multimodal Play? Multimodal simply means "many modes." Toys that are multimodal engage children in a variety of modes of play at once. They engage many learning processes and encourage seamless transition between them, a vital process for growing minds!
