# Cubles

> Cubles are precision-engineered paperboard kits that assemble into fully poseable 3D characters. No scissors. No glue. No mess. STEAM-inspired fun for ages 6+.

## About

Cubles is a creative-play and education company based in Arden Hills, Minnesota. Founded by Joel Morris, Cubles designs, engineers, prints, and packages buildable paperboard characters that kids (ages 6+) assemble by popping, folding, and clicking — no tools required. Every character uses a patented accordion-style key joint system that makes them fully poseable.

Cubles are 100% recyclable, made from sustainable paperboard with zero plastic. For every tree used in production, 100 are planted.

Cubles Party Packs are designed for birthday parties. Each pack includes 6 of the same character. Kids build together at the party (takes ~10 minutes), and each child takes home the character they built. It replaces both the party activity and the goody bag. Available in Minecraft, Dog Man, TMNT, and SpongeBob themes.

## For Educators
Through a partnership with Thinking Nation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit), Cubles offers classroom packs of historical figures. Each pack includes 25 buildable characters — one per student. Used for social studies, Black History Month, STEAM learning, and hands-on history education. No prep, no cleanup required.
