Rory's Story Cubes - Award Winning Toy!

Rory's Story Cubes game is sure to be one of the hot toys for the Christmas 2011 season!

As a matter of fact, it is already sold out in most stores and it is only June 2011 as of this writing.

Rory's Story Cubes is one of those games you wish you would have thought of yourself.

It is so simple and yet so brilliant at the same time!

The game includes nine dice that includes different pictures on them.

You roll the dice and create a story based on the pictures you rolled.

You start the game with "Once upon a time...." and continue on from there.

What is so wonderful is that this game could be used in so many different ways. It can make for a great party starter or ice breaker, but it is also perfect for literacy development in little ones. It promotes better speaking skills, listening skills, creative inspiration and problem solving for slightly older children, but also makes for a perfect mental workout for seniors.

The stories created can easily change to fit the crowd playing it. A simple sheep becoming friends with a turtle is perfect for little fans, but raunchier adults can have that same sheep doing much wilder things to the point of hilarity!

The cubes come in a small box that is perfect to carry around in a pocketbook or to keep in the car and the box top can also double as a corral to contain the dice when you throw them which makes play convenient at any place and at any time.

This game is a such a terrific way for parents and grandparents to commuicate with their kids and grandkids and truly appreciate their little imaginations. It is also a great item to be used by teachers for their students.

Different Ways to Play

Another great thing about this toy is that there is no end to how you can play it.

Many parents are finding that their children are playing it alone just because they are having so much fun making up their own stories.

Other ways to play is to have one person roll the dice and make a story out of all nine pictures, or you can make it a fun group opportunity and have each person continue the story from the person before.

You can decide to use only 3 or 4 dice for younger children or you can have someone arrange all 9 dice in a particular order that the next person has to follow making it an even more fun and creative challenge.

What makes this even more exciting is that Rory's Story Cubes has recently come out with a Rory's Story Cubes Actions Add on version that can be used with the original set (though at the moment this is even harder to find than the original - but hopefully that should change by the holidays).

Rory's Story Cubes Toy Awards

While Rory's Story Cubes was first introduced in June 2010, it seems that 2011 is going to be it's biggest year as more people learn about it!

As a matter of fact it is currently Amazon's #3 best seller in its entire Toys category (only behind the remote control helicopter).

It has also picked up numerous awards due to its simplistic yet brilliant design. Awards include: Dr. Toy's 10 Best Games of The Year, The Major Fun Award, The Parents' Choice Gold Award, The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award, The Creative Child Magazine Seal of Excellence Award and The iParenting Media Award.

So if you are looking for a toy that is not only hot at the moment, but is also educational as well as affordable, Rory's Story Cubes is the way to go!
