Cubo Toys' mission is to help conscious parents' move away from single-use (plastic) toys through multi-usable toys that grows with the child's learning needs. We're tackling the overconsumption of children's toys in the first five years of life, which is unavoidable due to the fast and rapid development of kids at this age and stage. Parents find that their kids' toys, clothes, and books have overtaken their living and storage space as they need to replenish items every 2-3 months to fit their kids' growing size and appetite for learning. We aim for toys that help kids to PLAY FOR GOOD.
