A few friends in our Classical Conversations group brought some Rubik's Cubes in one week and showed how they could solve them and that is all it took for our boys to get hooked! Both Colsen and Miles quickly memorized all the algorithms and got faster and faster at solving their cubes. They've bought several different kinds now (including "speed cubes") and are always thinking of ways to challenge themselves. Colsen and his friend Gibson even got together 3 weeks in a row, just to "cube" together.
I, of course, am thrilled with this -- for the most part. My uncle taught me how to solve the cube when I was in about 4th grade -- back when one had to purchase and learn from an obscure book.
Strider carried on the family tradition a few years ago. So I like that Cole and Milo like to do the cube, too.... although all the clicking and turning can get a little irritating when it won't ever stop, even during our school time!
