Bauspiel Lucite Cubes 100 Piece Set

Lucite Cubes are transparent acrylic building blocks, not wood. The set has 100 cubes, ten in each of ten different colours, and every cube measures 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5cm. They come with a base tray sized 28.5 x 28.5 x 2.5cm that keeps the colours sorted and holds the set together for storage.

The clear acrylic cubes are made for light play, so as light table blocks they let colour pass straight through. On a light panel children can watch how light travels through each coloured cube, overlap two cubes to mix a new shade, and build glowing transparent towers. It turns simple stacking into a lesson in colour and light.

Yes. With ten cubes in each of ten colours, the set extends early maths and science learning through counting, sorting, grouping and pattern-making. Paired with a light panel, the cubes show how light passes through colour, and they can even be submerged in water to explore how transparent shapes look and behave in a new medium.

The acrylic cubes can be submerged in water, so they suit sensory tubs, water tables and simple science play as well as light and block building. Rinse and dry them afterwards. Their transparency makes them interesting to watch under water, adding another way to explore colour and light beyond stacking on a table.

The Lucite Cubes are clear acrylic that colour passes through, so they shine best on a light panel or in water. The Bauspiel Mirror Blocks are wooden blocks with mirror inserts that bounce light back instead. Using both together lets children compare transparency and reflection in one build.

Wipe the cubes with a soft cloth and keep them out of grit that could scratch the clear faces. It is best not to let children play with them on concrete, because the acrylic can chip if dropped onto a very hard surface from table height. Store them in the base tray and supervise younger builders.

The 100-cube set gives ten of each colour, which is enough for larger light-table layouts, colour mixing across many shades and group play in a classroom or family. A smaller set suits a single child or a first try, while the 100-piece box supports more ambitious builds and shared exploration of colour and light.

The cubes are recommended for ages 3 and up. At that stage children can stack, sort and explore the cubes on a light panel with an adult nearby, especially given the chip warning on hard floors. The colourful, transparent set makes an engaging gift for light-and-colour play at home or in the classroom.
