Introduction

The cube consists of 8 small cubes and prisms, that can be used to build a big cube. The picture on the cover as well as the rule that only the same coloured surfaces must touch helps to check for errors. A beautiful presentation and more information can be found in Linda's Montessori Shop or on YouTube.

Cut the pieces from a plywood board (12mm thickness) or have it cut to size in a hardware store.

Glue 2 of the side walls together with wood glue, and fix the other two with the hinges.

Using a wooden dowel make the lid and paint with the cube image to use as a controll image.
